I spent that much on a 1994 CST with 113,000 on it. In the 10 months since the acquisition, I replaced a lot for mechanical reasons, including the entire engine pulley system, water pump, several hoses, PCV valve and valve cover outlet, washer fluid nipples, piping and valves, and brake rotors and pads. But in addition, I felt I had to exchange the wiper arms all around, and replace front and rear bushings, the front ball joints and tie rod ends, too. Now I still have the rear shocks and front struts and strut bearings to do, the driver side window mechanism to repair, plus a need to replace sagging door upholstery (surely the headliner is next!). Though I anticipated this might be coming, at 100k+, I must say, and had the time to tend to it too, I find I'm in a rat race and it's just to keep steady pace; do you also want the headache...
