I just bought a 96 SC400 with 101K miles. I'm pretty sure the 90K service hasn't been done so I was going to take it to a mechanic next week. Any ideas on the things that need to get done to keep my car running good?

moved to maintenance section. check that timing belt has been done, and for ignition stuff check if they have replaced plugs, caps and rotors. the main o2 sensors are also a good maintencence item if those havent been done around every 60-100k if you do them the car runs better and will give better gas mileage.

I second the notion ^^^^

Plus add the waterpump, thermostat, coolant flush, and maybe replace the radiator hoses (top and bottom). I would also look at cleaning the IACV, inspect the throttle body for carbon buildup, use a can of seafoam before anything thing is done, and look at the MAF.
