should tell you most of the issues that are of our concern.
Remember, this is a place to report problems...
You're not looking at a "peoples car", an "ultimate driving machine", or a car with "truth in engineering", so electronic bugs are rare.
Drivetrain issue are also rare in 100k miles.
Change the oil properly, perform other recommended maintenance, keep your fingers crossed, and perhaps all you'll see in 100k is brakes, plugs, a battery (or two), filters, serp belt, maybe rear shocks (at least SC's that sometimes get loaded up), coolant bypass valve, maybe a DIC.
good luck
