If the fluids have been changed, no need to do it again. I would be sure about the coolant. It may look fine but if it's old and acidic, it can lead to premature water pump failure. I would keep an eye on the coolant tank, cracks a common issue and may be more age than mileage related, and the AOS and drive it. I would then change the clutch out early, maybe 40-50K miles and get the IMS and water pump replaced at that time.

Awesome find!

Like they all said - change all the fluids - get some new tires and......drive it like you stole it!
