Replaced alternator 
160000 mi

US $300
new plugs, cables and "ignition controller" (computer that controls timing - one per side of engine) - all other PM has been every 6k (e.g. LOFs, tire rotations, etc.) 
134000 mi Replaced windshield wiper stalk/switch. Intermittent wipers had failed. Central locking system works from the key fob and by putting the key in the door, but the lock switches inside of the car do not operate door locks. Researched the issue, and the body control unit on the driver's side needs to be replaced. Estimated cost of part from dealer: $400. Elected not to repair this problem, as key and fob both still work.
