114K miles will probably require a full suspension overhaul if it was driven during in extreme weather (very hot, very cold or both) in typical urban environments. Unless you plan on doing much of this yourself, it will be very expensive since its not just shocks and springs proposition as TeamOxford as listed. You'll be near $6K all in on parts, labor, taxes and the alignment. You'll probably also need new wheel bearings which probably squeal like sea lion by now.

But water pump/coolant tank, coolant cap, hoses, etc. and AOS should be done first if you're still on the original factory parts. These things can actually kill the engine during a failure. A water pump that's been in the car too long will claim more engines than the over-blown IMS issue.
