Default Tune up

I just bought this car (car type and engine in sig) and it has 284K miles on it. Should I do a total tune up (wires, cap and rotor) or just the plugs as the engine isn't doing anything really wrong. What is the best way to do this job? I know how to change out spark plugs but I also know that different cars have different tricks to make the job a little bit easier.

That is a lot of miles, does it burn oil?

Plugs are easy just unscrew them, no tricks.

Thanks guys.

No it doesn't burn it.... thankfully.

I'm slowly getting this car into shape as I really didn't even expect to buy this thing until I saw it at the lot and fell in love with it LOL
