If you want a reliable touring car that you can drive with confidence, "mission creep" is an essential if you don't have a thorough prior history of a car's servicing.

If you don't know when the wheel bearings were last repacked and seals checked, do it. If you don't know when the differential and std. trans/OD gear oil was changed, do it. If you don't know when the oil pan was last dropped and cleaned, do it. And on and on and on. Once done, you have a baseline for future maintenance and can drive/tour with peace of mind without risking possibly expensive repairs due to not attending to such work.
