About to pull the trigger on a 03 CL55

Only has 36k miles. Are ABC suspension issues weighted more to the age or mileage of the car; 15 years vs 36k miles. Either way, what can I realistically expect in my first year of ownership outside of oil changes? Any advice appreciated.

I changed out my ABC for Coilovers. Outside of that all i have had is the Crank Position Sensor go out. It was a 25 dollar bosch part from Rock auto. or 65 at local chain auto parts stores.

The Yellowspeed kit is about $1,200 USD. i did the swap myself but a mechanic would charge about 400-500 for the swap.
