Hi guys ( and gals ). I just bought my dream car......albeit 20 years after it was released. But I still found one. Its a 99 with only 151k on it in pretty good condition, its been sitting for 3 years and im just driving the kinks out of it before I get it safetied, is there anything in particular i should look for as far as problems go or things i should change out before theres a problem? Theres no engine lights on and no codes and the trac control and abs lights have gone off after 200 km of hwy driving so Im thinking its good to get it safetied. The body is clean and theres no rust under it. All in all its in great shape for being 20 yrs old.

Welcome to ACNA! BTW, I hope that you changed the oil and filter after a 3 year hiatus.

Oil, trans fluid, coolant, power steering fluid and brake fluid. Maybe a tuneup. Otherwise I usually stick with "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Welcome to the forum!
