Default Accord hits 100,000

Have a 2000 Accord coupe 5-speed

Finally hit the 100,000mi. mark. I personally do the oil change on my car every 3,000 miles and just recently did an alighment after I got some new tires. Car is riding fine. Just wondering what parts need to be replaced or maintenace done if I want to keep it in great condition.

might keep this car 1-more year, then off to a new ride.
any suggestions?

I have 207,500 on my accord and it is still running strong. I had just replaced water pump(it's a bitch) and a regular tune up with a thermostat. Just keep matience up and fix all problems and the car will run for ever.

replace the water pump, change the timing belt, and look into changing most of the fluids. (transmission, radiator, brake, power steering)
