Many get to 100,000 miles with nothing more than tires, oil changes and air filters. The exhaust will need work for most. All of this depends on climate and miles per year and city VS highway driving.
I got well over 130,000 on my original front brake pads on a 95SET. Sadly the new pad compounds are not going to allow this to happen with the 9-5's.
It is between 100,000 and 140,000 that I would expect to see expenses peak for wear items.
The engine will out last most everything else if cared for, and will have trouble if neglected. One should have a spare DI after a while and don't neglect the serpentine belt idler wheels, they are not eternal! Some will change things out before they go bad in an effort to not have the vehicle stopped by the side of the road.
