sounds like a nice car. you should have quite a while before you have to do any major service, clutch etc.. i bought a 95 9000cset this summer and it had 145k and i had the clutch replaced although it probably would have lasted another 20k..driver dependent, but you should get over 100k on the original clutch.. the only other thing i would do which is cheap preventative maintenance is to change the spark plugs very frequently 15k or so and ONLY use NGK plugs (i think BRP7ES-11, just do a search on plugs on this site and you will find the correct NGK part number) make sure you gap the plug between .9 mm and 1mm (they come pregapped at 1.1mm which is too large) the reason to change plugs frequently and gap correctly is to preserve the very expensive Direct Ignition cassette ($300 USD). plugs are cheap... transmissions vary as well but you should have a while well over 100k before this becomes an issue, if it does at all (assuming you have the 5sp) good luck
