um, do you mean what will most likely need to be replaced because of age and mileage?
Without knowing the mileage on the car it is not easy to give you a detailed answer.
So, I will call upon my 24 years of automotive experience to help:
most important, the fluids. Get an oil and transmission service immediately. Flush and refill the radiator with new coolant. Make sure your fluids meet the manufacturer's specifications, I.E. oil grade and weight, trans fluid type (they are different) and coolant.
Secondly, the timing belt. If the car has near 90K miles it is a time bomb waiting to happen, and an expensive one at that.
Drive (external engine) belts. These need to be changed regardless of visible condition every four years, whether you drive one or one hundred thousand miles.
Tires. If they do not pass state inspection they are a deathtrap waiting for you.
Filters. Fuel, air (if applicable-some cars no longer have a changeable fuel filter). Get the dirt before it gets you stranded.
Wiper blades. Seeing is believing. Especially at 65 MPh.
Have the brakes CHECKED, not replaced. If there is a quarter inch of meat on the front pads and no vibration while braking you should be okay for a while. Check the master cylinder for fluid level and make sure you top it off with the spec fluid (different ones out there for different cars.)
