Hi, for starters thank you for your time and thoughts. So I just bought my girlfriend a the car listed above it is the custom model and it had about 250,000 miles on it already when I had bought it for her. I would like to do a full tune up on her car, but I do not know what exactly to replace.

Replace the fuel and air filters, change oil if dirty, spark plugs and wires if they look original.

Well if you want to change the belts do so as they are recommended at 60,000 miles along with the tensioner. Clean battery terminal ends as well.
