Preventative Maintenance

Hey Everyone,
Excuse me if i am in the wrong section, i am in the process of buying a used 14 gt with 47k on the clock. Is there anything i should look for, and afterwards being its so close to 50k what should i change (fluids). The car has brand new tires and pads. Thanks ahead of time for any help that's given.

hmm...nothing that I wouldn't check out before the lemon law protection goes away (provided you are buying from a dealer) tires and brakes were exactly what i was thinking, just the wear items

Yea, the dealer was nice enough to let me go through the car while it was on a lift. From underneath everything looks better than I expected for that mileage.

There really isn't a whole lot that I can think of that needs to get changed.

It would be nice to do an oil change, you may want to look into having the radiator flushed and new fluid put in, cabin air filter might need to be changed but since it is only a year old I doubt it is very clogged. It seems to have been a highway cruiser most of it's life judging by the miles.

I don't know if you remember but was there any fluid on the rear axle or maybe signs that that there was some fluid kind of like this?

None what so ever, totally dry. They at least changed the oil when they put the new tires and brakes on.
