1. Cap: covered in other post
2. Rotor: use a pair of pliers to break it off the shaft. I was scared the first time I did this but don't worry.
3. Plug Wires: just clean them up. They last a looong time.
4. Brake fluid: should be changed if over 2 yrs old, 1 year in a humid environment (like low land areas: New Orleans, Savanah). While your at the brakes, check out the pads. Replace if less than 1/4" of the friction surface remains.
5. Coolant: supposed to be changed at 65k (I think). Remove the lower radiator hose instead of using the radiator drain. Remove the thermostat, you should probably change that too, and flush the engine and heater core.
6. Fuel filter: I'm not sure if this is needed but it is pretty simple. Pull the fuel pump fuse, start the cars and run it until it dies. then replace the filter. It is under the passenger rear seat area.
7. check cv joint boots on front axle.
I'm sure there is more, but that is a good start.
Cost: DIY: about $50, maybe.
Shop: $300-400
Dealer: approx $500
