If the car hasn't been driven hard, and it's been maintained well, chances are the engine and tranny are just fine. However, if it's been maintained poorly and/or it has been driven hard, chances are you'll need to replace the enigine and/or turbos soon. The tranny is probably fine, unless it's never had the fluid changed or it's been driven very hard (eg dragstrips and/or repeated 'powershifts').
