Ok, my 1996 850T has over 240k miles. It has some issues, nothing major, but is driven daily. I have already replaced: fuel pump, head gasket, radiator, starter motor. I'm looking at replacing all the vacuum lines (guessing about $200 at an indy shop) (as I get an error code for misfires in various cylinders, bad turbo solenoid), but I only need another 12 months out of it before I get to buy a brand new car (first time in my life). I don't want to sink a lot of money in it over the next 12 mo. It drives fine, mileage is good, has new General Ulitmax 205-50 tires.

What other issues can I expect over the next 20k?

thanks!
