Other than your standard 5k Oil Changes, new tires, and brake pad/rotor/fluid changes I have had to replace shocks at 140k. I believe the master brake cylinder was also replaced around 150k. Transmission flushed at 190k (toyota dealership). Valve-cover gaskets(both sides) at 190k. They looked fine, but the rubber was hard (~$45 dollars for both gaskets and 2-3 hour DIY). Also had to swap out the hook/trunk dampeners as they began to sag around 160k. Had a shop swap the water pump/timing belt at 120k. Got the components ready to have them swap it again when I hit 220k.
I believe this car will do 300-400K no problem. I do drive quite spirited every couple of weeks and the car seems to be fine. I check the radiator level, oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid levels every month or so.
looking forward to going to 200k +

2002 189,000. Noticed a small hesitation when accelerating from a stop this morning. Got onto the expressway and noticed it again cruising at 65mph. I need to get fuel, maybe some new will solve the issue. Be in touch.
