Just got a basic econobox cause I've had bad luck with all previous cars.
Has 130,000 miles. I plan on replacing whatever I *should* at this mileage and whatever is cheap, while I'm at it. Money not a big issue, just want this hatch to be refreshed and ready for road trips adventures.
What else entices preventive maintenance?
So far my list:
Battery
Alternator
Spark Plugs
Wires for spark plug
The distributor cap/ ignition coil/ w/e it uses
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
Tires
Serpentine Belt
One thing I don't think I can manage is the timing belt (or hopefully chain) This requires a bit of dismantling, doesn't it? I was wondering if it should be replace by now, and if the fuel injectors should be cleaned or replaced. I think they're only like $24/ a piece
What else, anons?

Also I don't consider 130k HIGH mileage as I've had cars at 240k. Just wanting to fix up and prevent a break down, leaving me stranded again.

No need to replace the alternator, fuel pump, or ignition coils. They aren't wear items. Whatever you replace just make sure you use oem parts.

Bro stick to fluid and filter changes and don't fix things that aren't broken.

ex police car with 195k miles
chain driven (uk shitbox) still going strong
you should be alright with basic oil changes. I think suspension and bushes wear out long before any engine parts do on relatively modern (2007+) cars

Is that Scion your car? and yes, I know it's a stock photo.
Whatever maintenance there is depends on the car.

Do NOT replace these:
Alternator
Fuel pump
Battery (unless old)
Fuel injectors
It does not have spark plug wires or distributor or spark plug wires. It has coil packs.
You could just check the spark plugs and replace if necessary.
Same with the serpentine belt just look at it.
This vehicle is not equipped with a timing belt.
