I have 160K miles on my '08 (bought new in '07) and still have the original hoses, plug wires, and AC belt. I swapped out the main drive belt and tensioner pulley with a friend's about 40K miles ago, but it still looked good, so I saved it. Stuff lasts a whole lot longer now than it did in the '50's or '60's.

I have 2005, with 76,000 miles and belts and hoses are all original, and since I was bored last week took it to the dealership for oil change it didn't need, and asked for multi point inspections.
The place was empty, and there report was everything good, if they weren't they would of tried to sell me something.
