Check for the J02 valve spring recall. If it was done over 5000 miles ago, the engine is good. In short some cars' engines were badly sealed up after the recall and sealant can get into the oil pump pickup and starve the engine, then boom.
Failure typically happens within a couple hundred miles and pretty much always within 2000 miles. Again, if over 5000 miles have passed it's nothing to worry about.

You might need some new tail light gaskets if you get condensation in them.

Other than that these cars are really solid. Nice that it's completely stock, so no worries about botched mods.
