The timing belt interval for that year is 105K miles. You have another 50K to go. The low pressure turbos are almost bullet proof, but verify the type of oil used, synthetic is required.
Check the tranny fluid, same place as the 850. This car uses Mobile 3309 fluid, and is different than the PS fluid.
Has the antifreeze ever been changed, not a dealer service item. Nor is brake fluid.

If its AWD, the maintenance costs go up.
