Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!! 
Have fun. 
Do you have an owner's manual? If yes, the maintenance recommendations start on page 430. If not, here's a link to an online copy:

Quick answer, under normal use the plugs and auto trans fluid are good for 100,000 miles. Manual trans doesn't need anything but many change the oil anyway whenever they feel like it, it "can" improve feel and performance.

Guess I should mention, since you don't know the history of the car's maintenance, generally the brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years (under normal use) and the engine coolant every 5 years with the recommended DexCool. So I suggest if you want to do anything for peace of mind, do those 2 things.
