Yeah, I'm not the trusting sort. I wanted to start fresh with all the fluids and filters and belts and my dealer from a known point. So even if the previous owner had all the maintenance done I had them do everything I could think of. Ergo pretty much everything I had done was unscheduled except for the oil change. The dealer actually tried to talk me out of some of it but I told them to just do it. I replaced the OEM all season Conti's with a set of Dunlop Sport Maxx TT's. At the price I paid for this car, I had no problem throwing a couple thousand dollars at maintenance up front to make sure it was 100%. Now I know it was done.....by someone I trust.

The only things I haven't touched are bulbs, brakes, and battery. Bulbs are all working, front brakes have about 50% of the pads left, and the battery checks out fine in warm weather. When the brakes go I'll probably have them drain and replace that fluid when they do the pads & rotors.
