Dear MJ Escueta,

First, get a good under, engine, body wash. Change and flush the oil of the engine, gear box, the differential, brake fluids, aircon freon, filters for the oil, air and fuel, and of course, the sparkplugs and the timing belt. If the car is around 100000kms, repack the velocity shafts and cv joints and replace the clutch dry plate, the headlight bulbs, the wiper blades. Don't forget to detail and re-buff the paint of the car with a pro polisher in a detail shop to make it wet look. Thanx for writing.
