Hi,

Forget Tranny fluid, this is a sealed system and should be OK. Tires are shot, replace them, or risk $20K + of sheet metal for $1k worth of tires...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

tires

Yes i ordered a set of 4 new bridgestones from the tire rack,they should be here soon.Coolant looked fine, the brake fluid will be tested to see if water is presnt if so it will be replaced. Iam also looking foward to swap out the stereo .I think that it is not what it should be for such a nice and expensive car.Thank you for the advice.

Hi,

Don't bother testing the Brake Fluid - just change it! It WILL be loaded with moisture after so many years. Be sure to flush lots of fluid through the system to remove all contamination and corrosion which has occured...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
