getting a used explorer

[scotts95xlt]

first off, I am glad I found this site. I recently purchased a 95 XLT used with 130K. What are some things I should look for upon it's arrival here? What I plan to do (as told by my local dealer) was to bring it in for a 5K service, and they will change the oil and filter, and then inspect it and let me know if there is anything I need to do to it before going all out changing fluids and filters, plugs and wires. Keep in mind, this is a work/winter truck and will only see about 4K per year.

can you do that stuff yourself? It'll save alot of money.

yah if you can do things your self that will help alot ... WELCOME TO THE BOARDS though ... make sure that there isn't any rust or anything ... i'm assuming that its a winter driver car and snow/salt will only make it worse
