do it all at the 90k miles service since the timing belt is off anyways. Water pump dont usually need to be replaced, but its just preventative maintenance. Most places will give you the option of replacing the water pump while doing timing belt because its convenient since everything is taken off already.

Getting a high mileage GS4 isn't a problem. I bought mine at 125k and it still runs fine. As long as the car was taken care of, then I dont see any real issue, just normal wear and tear stuff. You're gonna spend more money on mods than fixing the car, i know i did
