Help with a new-to-me older person's RL

I am in the process of purchasing a low mileage 2011 RL. Everything is original except the motor oil. What services should I perform or parts should I replace? Thanks, Roger

a specific car is like an individual...
will be different than others like it...

which means, cant really have a catch-all "What should I do to it?"
One would have to go through the car to figure out what components are broken or worn out...and then replace those components.....

if you want a catch-all statement, then you should replace EVERYTHING on the car.
Suspension, engine mounts, tranny refresh, engine refresh, tires, brakes, ALL fluids, ALL rubber components - ALL bushings, ALL interior pieces, EVERY Single nut and bolt should be refreshed.

You've made like 3 or 4 threads all pertaining to this 2011 RL you just picked up. You couldn't just make one with all your concerns?

Response to the above: I'm new to posting. Is there a limit to the number of posts I can write? Is everything about a subject required to be included in one post? If so, I apologize for breaking the rules and requiring you to read the long boring posts. For the record, I have never posted anything about a car I "just picked up." For those who are counting, there were three posts from me about an RL. The reason for three posts is I tried to post and nothing was posted. I tried again, nothing posted. Finally, on my third attempt, success. And then all three posted at once. Thanks for the question.
