I own the same. Nice car and I'd rather drive it than most anything else. But I have replaced in the 60K miles I have driven - prices are rough estimates:
1) A radiator ($800)
2) An oil cooler and engine mounts and other things ($1800)
3) Air recirc flap motor ($250)
4) Crankshaft sensor ($250)
5) ABS module ($175 DIY or $2500 at dealer)
6) Alarm siren module ($100 DIY or $400 at dealer)
7) heater flap control arm ($400 semi-DIY or big big bucks at dealer)
8) TWO DICs (recall but happened before 60K)
and then lots of other little things like wagon hatch struts, lights for the fan switches, roundels front and back, hazard switch, and then routine repairs like tires, brakes, a $600 timing belt job, etc. etc.
In other words, make sure you have at least $125/month set aside for the repairs YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE on a vehicle of that vintage.
