I would like to know that I brought a car with 218,000 miles. Should I replace all the parts? Should I get some parts from the local junkyard? I need this car to performed at it maximum potential. What should I do?

Start here:

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.

Also inspect belts, brake rotors, calipers, shocks/struts, exhaust system, cooling system, hoses, plugs, wires.

Start with a complete inspection before replacing parts.
