If it's happy, I'm happy.

I believe that is correct. I was freaking when I first heard it, all's
quiet now.

Yes, it says 105k. I was wondering if I should have it done sooner as I
haven't found many records for this vehicle, thinking maybe some things
should be done sooner if the previous owner was lax in doing proper
maintenance
The dealer shows 3 records, only one being an oil change. I didn't do
my homework before buying and the lack of records has me a little
worried. I realize he/she may have done things themselves, but I don't
know at this point.

Yes, dumb on my part.
