In my base 850 w/manual transmission and 156k miles, I've had to replace the lower control arms, had the gas tank replaced under recall, a $30 fuel line that was leaking and the clutch replaced at 141k. Everything else is doing fine, although the suspension will need some work soon. Everything else has been regular maintenence items except for my A/C going out this fall due to a rock puncturing the condenser this fall. They're great cars and will run forever if taken care of, but parts do run a premium. Having a knowledgeable local independant shop will save you a bundle and many headaches, too.
