I had the car checked out by a mechanic and everything seems to be in good shape. No leaks (amazing) or obvious problems. Can anyone recommend areas that I should address immediately, based on the mileage?

Thanks,

Mark

I'd just make sure the maintenance was up to date.

If I had no records, then I'd replace all of the fluids and filters to start will a clean slate.

And remember, there are two maintenance items that are performed in time intervals instead of mileage intervals:

1. Brake fluid - required to be replaced every 2 years.
2. Radiator fluid - required to be replaced every 3 years.

Did the I6 have the harmonic balancer problems that the V6's have?

No, they didn't.

That doesn't seem like high mileage to me and I wouldn't expect any problems so long as all the services were performed. You've got another 200-300K of motoring left. Enjoy!
