Nice thoughts, but I would buy one coil pack and keep it and a crummy 10mm wrench with the spare tire. The coil pack should have a much longer life than a spark plug, about 100K or longer. The newer the coil pack, the better life it will have.

As to the alternator, you still have at least 50K left before the brushes wear down. Alternator bearings are usually pretty robust, and I would always try to replace the regulator first (contains brushes).

Keeping it running is better than buying new
