If you trust your dealer/independent

Have them do a good once over on the car to see if there is anything that could be looming... and could get fixed under the current warranty.
Remember a lot of the costs people grumble about with high mileage cars aren't covered by warranties as they are considered normal wear/tear. I recently dumped a lot of money in on new front breaks, replacing the front struts & mounts, muffler, etc... none of which I can image would have been covered.
If you have always gone to the dealer, it is time to find a good independent, as they will save you a lot of money. Mine uses the same book for charging out time as the dealer, but his hourly rate is about 1/3rd less, and he will use used, re-conditioned & non-OEM parts which very few if any dealers will use... plus my guy doesn't mark up the parts. If I had to rely on the local dealer, I would have dumped by '99 9.3 with 173K miles years ago.
