1. Wiring Harness -- Make sure it really was replaced, and not just that the seller is saying it was.

2. A/C Evaporator/Expansion Valve/Receiver & Switches -- expensive repair.

3. Head Gasket -- may never actually become a problem. I am at 227K and mine is fine. Front timing cover, however, may leak a bit.

1 & 2, if recently repaired/replaced, are worth paying extra for.
