2004 SL55 - 8K miles, couple of maintenance ?s
I just bought a 2004 SL55 with 8K miles. It was a Florida car for the past 10 years, so hasn't been driven, and maintenance has been haphazard, as no one has been driving it. I had the ABC system fluid changed, as well as brake fluid and oil. Put new tires on it as it had the originals on.
Would you suggest I change Transmission Fluid? Also, the hoses are all 14 years old. Suspension works fine now, but would you be concerned about it leaking since the hoses are 14 years old?
Love the car, look forward to being a member.

I would change trans and diff if it had lsd. I would change the coolant. If the hoses feel ok I wouldnt do anything to them
