Default Bought 97 1.6 EL Premium: no major service done, what to do?

Ok, so I bought the car from the second owner and inspected all the service and carfax records. Except for regular oil changes, tires, breaks, ball joints and stabilizer links, nothing major has been done.

The car runs great and everything. Should I be worried about anything i.e.transmission, clutch, water pump, timing belt, etc.?

The mileage is $164 km.

164Km ~= 103K miles you are 13K past due on your t-belt. Get it done asap

Thanks. Is there anything else I should do as well?

Here's what was done so far:

- Regular oil / fluids changes
- Summer/winter tires changes/rotations
- Spark plugs replaced
- Breaks replaced (3yr warranty)
- Ball joints and stabilizer links replaced at certification

just inspect the car, replace what is worn and then follow the maint schedule according to the KM intevil in your owner's manual.

Just do basic tune up stuff for sure, and the timing belt, water pump, might do alternator belt also.
