It's been good all these miles with normal sevice. No major repairs except
the blend door. I'm just wondering what to expect and what preemptive
service I should do to avoid costly on the road repairs. Fuel pump? Timing
belt/chain? Any suggestions. Thanks.

Evaporator in the HVAC systen. Known problem. Cout away the insulation
around the evaporator and let the condensation drip,  The insulation
doesnt let the part dry and eventually it will rust and start to leak.
The OEM replacement part does not have insulation.

This is good info since the car has climate control and the AC runs all the
time, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. The car is garaged all the time.
Maybe that helps. Can anyone think of any other inherent problems I may
have?
