Sheduled Maintenance

[slowstuff]

When I bought my SHO the previous owner said it got 100k at the dealer.

It has 159k now, I'm planning on taking it to a dealer & getting everything for 150-165k done per the maintenance schedule. As well as flush all the fluids, power steering & brakes look dark & nasty. Tranny could probably use it too.

Is there anything above and beyond I should have them do, like swap front & rear coils or just anything extra to have them look at.

Thanks,
Chris

I think you've got a good start, if you go by the guide. Granted, someone (or a large pack of someones) will call you an idiot for taking your car into the dealer because "you could do it so much cheaper at home" but really- I do nearly all of my own work and had the dealer flush and fill my tranny after I bought my '99. I didn't feel like messing with it for a few hours and trashing my garage to save $50. Now, the last time my trans was touched, it was documented at the dealership, and even better, the wrench that worked on my car is familiar with SHO's as I found out during my walk-under as he worked, so I found a resource too.

I'd say if you flush and fill everything you're well on the right track.
