My 240 Wagon has 208K on it and I haven't really had to use it for the last 2 years much. I had a company vehicle to and from work that now I'm not going to have. So I was wondering what I should have looked at on my car for safety and reliability for the next year or two until i can afford a new(er) car. The last time the car had any real service was in 2003 (140K) when it got a rear main seal and control arm bushings. Drive shaft center support bearing was changed around 150k. new front brake pads and hardware at about 190, and new rear rotors and pads at about 205k. Coolant and Trans was completely flushed 2 years ago and the brakes were bled when I did the rotors in the back. Oh and the fan clutch was replaced with the coolant service in 07.

I know I need a timing belt and maybe ball joints (but I don't know how to check them). I would like to know what I should look at or have looked at for the car to last me at least another 15-20k miles.

Thanks in advance
