I know this from experience,

water pump
heater core
starter
altornator
ac compressor
window motors
thermistat

the list goes on, and on, and on... the question is, what doesnt go wrong, but its all worth it in the end.

RE: high mileage engine trouble

The first parts to go were related to the cooling system -

Water Pump
Fan Clutch
Heater Core

Next was Clutch Cable and Quadrant, Pressure Plate and Clutch, u-joints and gasket leaks

So far no internal engine problems or oil usage even after 285,000 miles, let's see if we can make it to 300k.
