Default 2002 Monte Carlo SS

I just bought a black excellent shape 2002 SS with 88k miles, and thought I'd ask what the common problems were if any that I should look for?

Sometimes there may not be any?
However you might want to do some routine maintenance to find out where you are.
1. Tires good ? Balance and rotate?
2. Alignment ?
3. Fuel filter?
4. Oil Change ? filter?
5. Check Trans fluid it should be Red?
6. New Air Filter
7. Cabin filter replace
8. Coolant level and hose conditions
9. Inspect the Brakes to make sure they are good
10. inspect the plug wires
11. might want to think about new spark plugs
That may be a good list to begin with and will reveal some condition concerns.
Maybe the seller has completed all these steps already?
Some of the owners of the 2002 SS Montes may have some deeper concerns for tips.
