General maintenance.

Check the last time ALL fluids were last changed and change them if it has been a while, serpentine belt, squeeking pulleys under the hood, tires, brakes, rotors, changing as necessary.

Otherwise good to go for another 120K.

only if you want to be .. the other thing you might want to look at are shocks ..


if these cars are maintained .. you'd be surprised the mileage you can get out of them.
