These are some of the recommended servicing items:
Replace battery
Replace transmission fluid(60k miles it has never been done)
Turbo servicing to remove carbon build up
Replace differential fluid
plus a couple of other things.

I will go ahead and get the battery replaced but want them to tell me how old the battery is. When I bought the vehicle they gave me a list of what the condition of most things were like brakes, tires but not what should be done.

Overall like the car. Comfortable, reliable and good in snow. But not as fun to drive as my daughter's Audi Q5.

This is probably part of their service strategy since they are a trusted brand and a dealership... you assume or maybe even the salesman tells you everything has been gone over, all fluids changed, etc.

A new independent will need a new window sticker with all the new parts and salesman making a point of showing them to prospective customers. Quick pics during service renovation as part of an online ad would be beneficial. Pics of shiny new calipers and rotors, new battery (if covered), etc. would go far I think in building trust and closing a sale.
