fair enough. Should I change just the engine oil or all the fluids including trans, brake, coolant etc?

The car was $23,000 and some change, not including a few extras I had them install before I drove it home. Its more than most others of the same age however none of them even closely compared to this one in both mileage and condition.

At this point Im not even sure how to get at the engine lol, but being the type of car it is I see myself taking it in for most of the work I need. I have no issues jacking up my truck or vw, however this one will rack my nerves...

The price is actually pretty good. Dont be afraid to DIY but I doubt your car will need any major services considering the miles. To get to the engine you crack the top opening the clamshell, then you remove the ball joints connecting the top as well as the the little clipping carpet piece, after that you must remove the storage shelf, then the sound proof carpeting, lastly the engine cover, viola.
