Well I know in Maryland they have a required inspection every time a car changes hands that takes care all most every problem. They check brakes, barings, belts, hoses, ect. I don

O and one more thing you could take your car into a shop that you trust and say "fix everything" unless you are a hands on guy and want to take care of it yourself. (which is me)

Assuming your car is a MY01+:

Engine oil
Rear diff fluid
Transmission fluid
Cabin air filter
Engine air filter

If MY00 add a coolant flush.

Brake and clutch fluid bleeding/flushing might be a good idea too if they are feeling a bit mushy. You spark plugs are probably still fine, but replacements plus a valve adjustment wouldn't be a bad idea at all. My car is at 37k and its getting new plugs and a valve adjustment this week.
