Default spark plug change

Hey guys, first post since i joined here recently. I picked up a 2005 s2000, one owner with 32k miles on her. I want to change all fluids and also take a look at the spark plugs. Now for the intervals of changing the plugs, the car is 10 years old, even though the car only has 32k miles on it, should i still check them and maybe get a new set of plugs for it? The car runs great and does not burn any oil whatsoever. Just looking for some opionions on what you guys have done and seen. Thanks guys

just pull the plugs and check their health.

my 04 with 70k I went ahead and changed mine but they were all healthy and in spec.

Torque them back down to 18-20 ft/lb which is above original factory spec of 13ft/lb. this is because there's been issues with them blowing plugs out from being under torqued.
It's probably a good idea to run down the FAQ page that is sticky'd up top. Lots of useful information for you to check out also a DIY on spark plug replacement.

Also, the NGK plugs are cheap on Amazon under $10 a piece. at my local stealership they wanted $23 a piece.

I can't imagine the plugs need to be pulled. Maybe at 50 k mi.
