ART - I bought my 2001 at about the same mileage as yours, and there will be a few thing that will need to be checked or replaced that the PPI may not show up.
As I bought mine from an OPC, they had to replace the AOS, drive shaft rubber boots & MAF under their warranty programme.
Over the next year or so, I've replaced the front brake rotors, brake pads all round, brake fluid, coolant, fuel filter and spark plugs + routine maintenance.
If you can do these yourself, you can save a bundle - if you can't, put some $$ aside for them. I usually allow 10% of the purchase price to bring the car up to scratch.....
