the normal stuff and the stuff that has failed
timing belt if you have never done it otherwise just keep up with keeping it running

130K miles.  Congratulations.
Assuming you did the 120K mile severe schedule maintenance of oil/filter, spark plugs, air filter, PCV valve, inspect (drive belts, hoses and coolant strength), I would suggest going back to 69K miles on the severe schedule in addition to shortened intervals for fuel filter (2 years).

Well, my '98 has 430,000km (about 267,000 miles), and she's been a treat. I've done a lot of highway and city driving.
The only 'major' item that I've had to replace is the VCT solenoid a year ago, and an alternator... (whoopie...)
There's always the stuff like )2 sensors, PCV valves and such, but I consider those to be maintenance...
Other than that, follow the maintenance schedule, change the timing belt (and water pump!) when necessary (anywhere from 60K km to 100K km).

I should probably change my PCV valve.
I changed waterpump, timing belt, flushed coolant, new plugs, air filter, I didn't replace my serpentine, but I should, it's got lots of cracks. I just turned 124k.
