There's been some discussions in the last year or two and there may be a good complete list. Maybe a lube for the top mechanism and window regulators too as a preventative - the parts are likely good, but grease is dry or gone. Maybe just prompt your shop about what else could be effected by age rather than miles.

Not trying to be a downer at all, just remembering stories from some other very low mile cars.
Nice pics & Welcome to the forum!
No I appreciate the advice. Seriously I do. I literally told my guy to take the car and change anything and everything that looks like it needs. He went over the car well and said everything looks great.
