Default 75,000 mile Checkup?

I just bought my 99 WS6 with 74,xxx miles. Would it be a good investment to get it fully serviced? I need to make sure everything is running smoothly. And all fluids flushed and refilled. (Clutch in particular) I also feel as if I should replace spark plugs and wires. What do you guys think? recommend?

Everytime I buy a new car, I always change all the fluids. That way I can base my routine maintenence off that time. It is a good time to switch to synthetics as well. The plugs should be alright, I would just pull one on the drivers side and check it.

It might be a good idea to put a new fuel pump in it. It'll probably last a long time still, but sometimes they go early and you don't know how it was driven or anything.

And fuel filter, air filter. Definately the plugs and wires. Rear end fluid just to see if there are any metal shavings in it. Some guys would even recommend that you change the brake fluid. Good peace of mind to know when these things have been done.

Change fluids no matter mileage or year for the optimum performance.
