Its a great car op should keep it as long as she can.

Agree. I only meant if she goes to sell it there are buyers who will pay a real premium for mileage like that.

+1 is the battery still working? I think you should go an oil change at a garage but NOT jiffy lube and NEVER take it to a dealership unless its free under warranty. Has it been garage keep? Have the tires been out in the sun a lot?

I think it's probably pretty good to go though.

No garage, it sits in a partially shaded driveway. The battery is currently working fine.

I would change oil and have them check tires for dry rot (due to UV if it's been sitting outside since 2019). Check belts for dry rot too. There are a lot of good independent shops in Rockville. Use Checkbooks to find one. If you provide zip code, I can look up for you too.

OP here - I appreciate the input, but I plan on keeping my car for years to come. It’s good to know my options, though, so thanks for mentioning the possibility. Like I indicated, when it comes to cars, I’m starting at square one.

Oil change is all you need. You can do it at a dealer, they don’t charge much for oil changes, just don’t agree to anything else.
