I don't disagree that it's probably prudent to change fluids on a used car. Might even consider sending the old fluids off to Blackstone Labs or similar to get an analysis done. Might give a little insight into how the engine and driveline has been wearing in the hands of the previous owner and give you the opportunity to correct little problems before they become big problems.
