Over 102,000 Topic is solved

My 96 850 wagon (non-turbo) is fast approaching 102,000 miles.
Is there anything in particular that needs to be done to ensure that she'll keep going for another 100K?
I use the car to commute to work in rush hour traffic every day - so she gets a bit of a work out with the stop and go traffic.
Thanks!

Replace Timing Belt every 70K miles.

Drain and Put in fresh fluids... coolant, brake, power steering and especially automatic transmission.

Do you have vibration in the steering wheel while braking? Possible need for new brake rotors and front suspension parts (tie-rods, ball joints, etc).

Consider new brake pads.

Consider new plugs, wires, cap, pick-up coil, rotor, ignition coil, and ignition module.

Consider new thermostat, radiator hoses, heater hoses, and belts.

If you are not mechaincally handy or you don't have money to burn, I would enjoy it until it gets around 125k and then sell it.
