My first plan of attack is to have my local German car mechanic do a thorough inspection and change the oil. Other than that, I'm not really sure how to best approach things, so here are my questions for this learned panel:
1) Are there any things which tend to fail with frequency on these cars at about this mileage? If there were, I'd make sure to have these areas inspected.

2) If you acquired a car like this, would there be any other preventative maintenance you'd do right away?

Thanks to all!

Congrats on the new purchase. But, you should have done this before buying it. This list you received from Grim and Sirmoog is spot on.
