I did not replace the hoses on the Club Sport until this past October at almost 30 years and 151k miles. Up until then the only cooling system components I had replaced were the thermostat and a plate fitting at the firewall. That said, this time I replaced everything- water pump, radiator, hoses and clamps.Hoses and belts for sure. Have your mechanic check them at each oil change if it makes you feel secure. I have to tell you though I’ve never had a hose or a belt leave me stranded and I’ve driven some miled up hoopties in my time. As someone mentioned it will probably be something electronic that leaves you walking. Maybe buy a membership in AAA.@oldfarmer50 What things are you worried about? Brakes can wear out. Shocks, bushings, steering components and belts too but those are easily replaceable.
Good comments. The thing that concerns me the most would be something like a hose breaking down on a busy highway when I have to be somewhere. Things that can deteriorate over time.
With only 48000 miles on the car, what can break down because of time....what should I maybe have checked?
As for belts, I've replaced them twice.

I am seriously rethinking the value proposition right about now, after going out to shovel. Pretty sure these snow mounds will be here until March, and will only be getting bigger.@stickguy said:
I jinxed us. We are getting buried with snow right now. Hard to tell how many inches so far but you can’t tell the road from the lawns (plow guy has not been through yet). Good thing we have nowhere to go.I despise snow.
You went the wrong way!
No snow in your old ‘hood… just tons of rain.

Just to clarify, maintenance repair can't total a car, correct everyone? Only crash damage repairs "total" a car, because Insurance companies obviously don't want to pay more to fix your car than it would cost to replace it. That's not good for the bottom-line.It's referred to as "mechanically totaled" meaning it costs more to fix than it is worth. But the owner eats the cost, not an insurance company!

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
snow finally tapering off. after dinner I need to go out and finish shoveling. Thankfully we have our driveway plowed now (for $30 a storm, even a tightwad like me is saying heck yeah) so I just need to clear out the snow mountain in front of the garage door (our version of the town plows filling in the bottom of your driveway), tidy up the edges, and do the front walk. Even my decrepit old body should be able to handle that without kicking it.
not sure but looks like we got 6-8"
