For SC plan on $350'ish for an oil cooler upgrade right off the bat and most do at least a 19 row even when NA.

If you can wait, it will be a buyers market very soon as prices are already coming down due to interest rates and the economy.

I bought my 2010 sport/touring with 72k on it in 2016 for $15k with a clean carfax/title.
Agree, except that OEM VLSD is quite useless especially on a boosted application.

Oooo, at that mileage, switch out that rear heater hose coupler, prone to crack/shatter. At that miles, adding heat with boost, might as well change out all the radiator hoses, it's about time.
