Don't forget about installing a pop-off valve on the airbox. The 3.0L is well known for back firing and blowing the expensive airbox. If the one you are looking at has it already you are set otherwise its a fairly cheap and easy mod.

These are old cars and you can expect little things to come up. Mine got me stuck a couple times in the first few months until I got throught the age related crap.

The exhaust recommendation is a really good one. It really changes to character of the car.
