    recently bought a 2000 GP GTP
    after changing the sparkplugs, i can see that regular maintenance hasn't been performed for this car anywhere near recently.

    can anybody come up with a good checklist of things to watch for, check, or replace on the car? sorta like my own multi point inspection.

    Check oil/trans pan for leaks.
    Fuel filter
    fuel injection cleaning
    Gasket check
    plastic vaccum lines replaced with rubber
    sway bar end links
    smell trans fluid
    Check power steering pump
    check CV
    check trailoring arms
    check struts and springs
    alignment good?
    Check belts


    That should get you started. I'm sure I'm missing some.

    might as well replace the trans filter
    coolant flush
    some ppl like to change brake fluid
    air filter?

    definately the famous LIM gasket check and replace which goes along with the already mentioned gasket check.

    txslow did a good job mentioning what should be replaced and what should be checked. just do that and u'll be good to go.

    Charging system test.
    Air conditioning (if you want)
    Belts (dry rotted/cracked)
    Coolant elbows
    Clean coil pack terminals (light sandpaper to rod of any and all corrosion)
    Supercharger coupler (sounds like rocks jumping around when being revved)
    Brakes
    Power steering fluid

    Helps if you change the SC oil also, it's easy to do.
