So the car is pretty much new but I dont want to overlook anything. Is there some areas I need to look at? Here is what I see;

Tires are like new
Brakes are like new
Coolant has been done
Has new air filter
Needs oil change
I think it has the clutch buzz but I am not sure. If it does, will it do damage?
Should I change tranny fluid?
Rear Axle fluid?
The brake fluid and clutch fluid look dirty??

The top looks new, does anything need to be lubed??

Is there anything else I am missing?

Thanks for the info...

Do all the fluids and then drive it. Assuming nothing has been taken off. If you can manage, do the axle nut re torque.

Get something like 303 Fabric Convertible Top Kit for keeping the top clean and maintaining it.
If you are going to beat on car consider AP2 retainers.
Cabin filter maybe.

19k its gonna be a solid car. As mentioned do all fluids: oil coolant rear trans brake clutch. Also if you drive hard ap2 retainers and axle nuts are a good idea. Get underneath and make sure all bushings and booties are not rotted. Good chance they will be or at least leaking 13 years later.

Get a tube if Shin-Etsu grease and do all the rubber seals.

Get the valves checked, if they're not cracked then no reason to change them. Axle nut TSB is a good idea / cheap insurance.

As others have said, all fluids, treat the top and the leather.

Good luck, treat her right and she'll treat you right.

Does the top have a plastic rear window(MY00-01 plastic, MY02+ glass)? Just check for any leaks if the top has been replaced.

Good wash & just drive

That is a great thread. Whatever they are paying you, its not enough!

1) Pull valve cover (easy) and look at the intake side valve retainers for sunken keepers.
2) Do oil change, diff change, brake fluid. Tranny can go for 100k miles+ but I would that earlier just not at 19k unless you wanted to
3) Clutch buzz doesn't cause any harm
4) Maybe throw a bottle of Chevron Techron fuel cleaner in there with a tank of gas
