I just purchased a 2008 GT with extremely low mileage. While the car was stored for the most part in a climate controlled garage I’m not sure if I should/need to replace all fluids in the car. Looking for feedback from the group.

Thanks

I would stay away from the 'quickie lube' places. I've seen videos of them saying they have done fluid flushes and didn't do anything. I used my local Ford dealer to flush my automatic transmission fluid on my 2011 v6. I flushed my brake fluid and changed my rear end lube myself. I've read, the brake fluid should be changed every 2 to 3 years

Vehicle is 10years old the minimum regardless of miles would be brake fluid ans coolant exchange. How many miles does the car actually have?

It has a little more then a 1000 miles. I have changed the oil and trans and will be doing the diff this weekend. Not sure what the previous owner did in the way of fluid changes but both looked clean. Thanks for the responses!
