Your dealer will reccomend that you buy a new car or pay for the dealerships annual outing in the Bahamas :)

Your service manual is the same for the 60K checkup. If you haven't had the plugs changed since 60K, it is time for new plugs. The wires and dist cap have never been changed - new wires and cap/rotor and 5 plugs are $125+shipping at FCPGroton, and easy to DIY.
The tranny needed to be flushed at 50K, but the dealer will tell you that it NEVER needs flushing, just replace the tranny with a new one when it fails. A flush at home is as easy as an oil change.
You will need new air filter, cabin filter, also at FCP for $27 combined.
Watch out for suspension replacement, the dealer will want to do a lot there but only if you say OK. Most will not be as bad as they say.

Please answer your responses. We need to know if the advice is good or bad. The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are 2 turbos :)
