100k+ miles maintenance?
The car I just bought has over a 100k on it. The guy I bought it from suggested I get an engine tune up. I'm thinking about getting it along with an oil change and other inspections. Should I do a compression test too? What else should I do to make sure the car runs good?

Welcome!!
Post in your local s2ki forum and introduce yourself. Ask for a recommendation for a shop that can change all the fluids (tranny, diff, hydraulic, and coolant). Pick up some new OEM plugs from NAPA or the dealer (don't bother with anything other than OEM NGK Laser Platinum plugs, they are a very high end platinum). It would not be a bad idea to have the compression checked while the plugs are out. A valve adjustment at that mileage would not be a bad idea either.
To start...that should be about it.
