hello all,

just wanted to allow myself to introduce myself .
i just picked up a 97 CL 3.0 Premium /w 165k on it for $4500. very clean. (i'm a lil newb when it comes to imports, been a ford driver for the past 12 years.)
i stumbled across this site when searching for what to look for, and just wanted to say the posts and community have been great. i've fixed some minor issues that most peeps woulda gone to a dealer for, thanks to u guys.

just two Qs,

1. I've searched and found what i might need to have replaced at this mileage (timing belt, tension, water/oil pump, change tranny juice) (oil/air filter a given). Anything I miss?

2. Anyway to have a dealer look up the history of service? Basically debating whether to wait another 10k and have the timing belt serviced then (hoping the previous owner did it at 105k) or do it all now.

hello again and look forward to chatting it up with you all!!

wex

p.s. this is my daily driver and i don't "plan" on modding it. :wink:
