Just picked up an 03 with 8900 miles on it. It is showroom new. Totally beautiful. Bought it from a consigner, so i don't know what fluids have been changed. Would it be advisable to change the tranny fruid?

If you are capable, change all fluids and start driving it immediately. Nice find.

Transmission fluid doesn't need to be changed on a time basis unless severely abused, so I would say no.

Change the oil and drive it.
Great find, with such low miles.
I'd like to find another one like that to set aside in storage until I need another one.

Drive it. Too pretty of a car to keep hidden. Plus it will boost your ego once all the compliments start. I'm sure most of the members here will agree to that. I get compliments almost every time I drive mine.

Drive it if not your are just saving it for the next guy. I know I have some like that. But would be sad to see this car on the salty winter roads. Save all the driving for the good weather.
