History: Purchased used 10/04 with 70K on it; used a lot for an old job, but no longer drive more than 15K a year. Breaks changed in early 2005. Last major maintenance was in early 2006: 120K service, timing belt, water pump, other belts. New tires 2/2006. Oil change every 2000-3000 miles. No existing issues; runs perfectly as far as I can tell.
Question 1: What is the next big maintenance? All resources I've found drop off at the 120K mile mark. Every 30K miles from now on? More often? Is there written resource?
Question 2: I want to purchase an extended warranty for another 3-4 years. What are the main points that I need protected at this point in my car's life? The "powertrain" policies? Is that essential, or will a piece meal policy do? Please advise.
Quesiton 3: I am about to take off on a 4K mile round trip road trip. Which one of the 40-point-smoething or 80-point or 120-point inspections shoudl I have before I take off?
Thank you. I have submitted a $5 donation.
