Well I am at about 130K now. Obviously a lot has already been done to the car. Basically everything under the hood is new(er) aside from the transmission. The alternator came off the old motor, but it's marked as a REMAN so it's been replaced before. Some suspension parts have already been replaced (see signature). Still using the old ICM as well which I presume is original. Front brake calipers are original, rears are replacements, all new rotors. Both rear wheel bearings have been replaced.
What other type of maintenance am I looking at approaching this age? I don't think the transmission mount has been changed, I am considering doing it. I don't know if the fuel pump has ever been changed or not, that was the first thing to die on my old GP Sedan which is how I ended up meeting my current mechanic. All of the bulbs have been replaced, new lights in the front, and I even replaced the rear tail lights since they were leaking. I have noticed a number of bulbs are out on the interior however (behind the cluster and behind the HVAC controls), and they all seem to be a huge PITA to replace so I haven't done it.
I think my rear window needs resealing since it squeeks like MAD and lets in moisture. My trunk leaks too. Can I buy a new gasket set or something for the trunk?
I don't know if the door handle has ever broken (the linkage inside) but I do know the key hole barely works in the drivers door, good thing I had keyless entry installed.
Any other common things you guys have run into that I should think about?
