Just check for routine maintenance. You must be bound and determined to neglect this car b/c the "service due" message is set every single year, or every 10,000 miles or if the oil quality drops to below some percentage, whichever comes first. Then you need to consciously ignore the warning every single day, sometimes twice a day, and then use unapproved (not Mobil 1 0W40, or equal) oil. Other than that, it's air filters (that do no harm if ignored), serpentine belt (self limiting abuse - it breaks, the car stops, but it doesn't overheat b/c the water pump drive is internal), spark plugs, and "life of the car" coolant or transmission fluid. The coolant is 5 years 150,000 miles in a Prestone bottle or "life of the car" in a Saab bottle, so you're reasonably safe there. The a/t is the bulletproof Toyota/Aisin model, and the manual is the tried and true 5 speed with fancy synthetic factory fill. Plan on changing either, along with the coolant, filters, etc., and it'll be fine. As fine as any 90,000 mile car.
