Nearing 130k -- just checking in

[Kraln]

So, I'm rapidly approaching 130k on the odometer. I bought my '95 Ti for $7800 with only 78k in 2006, so I guess I've been driving about 16k/year.

In the time since I bought it, I've:
Replaced the clutch (myself - never again) $300
Replaced the headlights and wiring (myself) $150
Replaced rubber (intake, tires, hoses, etc) $300
Routine Maintenance (oil, etc - mostly). ~$1000

That's about $0.20 / mile in fixed costs

My interior is starting to fall apart, a bit. Headliner, door panels, switches. Other than that, everything is in great shape.

Still getting 33/26mpg, lets say 27 combined mpg. That's about 1930 gallons of gas, at (lets say) $2.40/gallon average, or about $4600 in gas.

That's about $0.08 / mile in fuel costs.

... about $0.28 / mile in total cost of ownership

-- what do you guys do on your cars as they get older? Any special maintenance I should be doing, or things I should be checking? What's your TCO?
