Interesting, the usual stuff, not all repairs, some "because I wanted to" in there, I have a lot of those, though the joy of these cars is doing this type of preventative maintenance/repairs. Actually when I look over the lists folks posted it generally isn't something that would have scared me away if I had come here before buying my car. It does seem like there are some odd things that go, like my head light switch, but I think that is just more age then anything.
Joe is right, not sure why I put fender liners in my list, that was the fault of the previous owner and I'm sure warranty didn't cover that...clearly not something breaking down, more like something damaged.
I do think I might have a big repair coming up though, my clutch has been like new but today something happened with it, I'll probably be posting soon on it, need to check with a friend first.

Derb, ok dang! I think though with that mileage probably could classify some of those as just wear and tear. Those 3 biggies IMS, RMS, Clutch you did as preventative right?
What mileage were you at when the following took place:
VarioCam solenoid valve
Coil Pack
Alternator
Starter
Water Pump- with snapped bolt
