Plugs, wires, or coil packs?

This is your first concern. If the belt breaks while you're driving, you'll be in a world of hurt. It PROBABLY is good, but you'd be daft not to replace it. It's a weekend job.

IMHO, I'd do the following, regardless of who told me what when I bought it:

Replace plugs (NGK)
Trans oil change (flush at a shop)
Engine oil/filter (I go Mobil 1 with matching filter, but that's preference.)
K&M 1,000,000 mile filter
Radiator flush
Check brake pads/shoes
Check p/s, p/b color
Check underside of belts.
Find out about timing belt change. With proof.

Anybody else chime in?
