You can get a feel for what people say about these cars here: http://www.nospam.com/features/gm900_93_index.php If it were me, I would just do all of the items in the next (90k) major service list. They typically are done on the 30's (30k, 60k, 90k...) but since you don't really know exactly when or what was done prior, it is worth the expense, in my mind, to start from a clean slate, so to speak. BTW, I am particularly fond those colors. Red w/a tan interior is sharp!! I know, my toy car (Z3 roadster) is the same. Just make sure you steal it away from the Mrs. often, especially on those nice summer weekends!! Let her ride shot-gun. ;-) Enjoy the car. -Fred W
