Default 60K Miles Service - 01 GS300

I bought my car used last summer with about 60,000 miles on it.

There's now about 67,000 on it and I have not serviced the car since I bought it (aside from Oil changes, brakes/rotors, air filter and cabin air filter).

I usually do most work myself, however, I've owned about 8-10 used cars in my 15 years of driving and I never took any of them for routine service and believe it or not, never had any major problems. Well aside from a used Lincoln Continental that I paid $1000 bucks for and the head gasket went in less than a year.

Anyway, since this is my first car I paid more than a couple grand for, I'm thinking I should make sure to get routine maintenance done.

Any suggestions?

spark plugs, coolant, and tranny flush, If really wanna get picky you can change the brake and power steering fluid. Also hows the serpentine belt looking.

Thanks, I'll check out the belt. I should be able to flush the coolant and change the plugs if i can get to them. I've never done a tranny flush though.

There is a thread on here to change the spark plugs search "BananaGs". The tranny if you dont tackle it yourself you'll probably have to go to the dealer or like a AAMCO or something
