If tires are older than 5 years by date codes, have them replaced with correct tires and have solid metal valve stems (Borg or Tire Man)installed. Have entire brake system flushed and serviced and replace front flex lines. Have entire engine cooling system including radiator,water pump, and belts and hoses. Have dash AC serviced if needed.
