I'm at 120K+ too, in Cleveland. The weather and road salts will play hell with a lot of the exposed parts of the car. Some of the things that have gone bad or required blood sweat and tears in the past year include: The driver "door" thing $350, new radiator and hoses $850, new exhaust, $950. Power seats may decide to fail, as well as the heated seats, if you have those. Weather stripping on roof may start to look pretty bad. Selenoid switch on gas cap lock will go bad, but just disconnect it. Lamps in dash and console will start to go - replace them all at once. Brakes and are always bad news, only go to dealer unless you can do yourself. Horns rot. When it's all fixed, you'll know you're driving the best car on the road.
