Replace all fluids (oil, transmission, brake, coolant, power steering) and filters (air, oil, and cabin air).
At least check but probably replace all coolant and vacuum hoses. Your choice whether to use silicone or not. I personally just use a premium brand (like Gates or Continental Rubber) hoses. On the C900 the top radiator, bottom radiator, and heater hoses are prone to split.
How are the V-belts ready to be replaced?
Check all fuses for proper amp rating and corrosion, better yet just replace them all.
Take care of known problems like bad relays, lamps burned out, etc.
Take a very close look at the tires, brake pads, rotors, calipers, exhaust, ball joints, CV joint boots, suspension parts, and shock absorbers.
And, of course, wash and wax your new baby. And clean the interior, treat the leather, clean all the glass, and the plastic, maybe new floor mats, and some liquid shoe polish on the shift knob, gaiter, and steering wheel (if leather).
By now you should be broke, but if you still have any money left it is time to upgrade tires, shocks, brake pads, exhaust, and the APC in that order.
How's that for a list? :^)
