-Cooling system flush
-air filter (or cleaning if you have an aftermarket intake)
-cabin filter (really easy to do)
-wouldn't hurt to check the alignment too if you have never had it done.
-drive belts
-thorough inspection

For piece of mind you may wanna have a compression test done...


also have you had any bushings replaced???

I would bet that the front transverse link and compression rod bushing are done even if it was a daily driver...I would NOT pay good money on a Alignment unless those bushings were replaced first...no point.... it wont hold...

Front lower control arms - aka transverse link and compression rod:

also, check your rear diff bushings for the typical silicone black fluid leak.

Also, check the front lower knuckle ball joint:

True that, these cars eat up those front lower control arm bushings. That is part of the thorough inspection the car should get, also tires, check for leaks etc.

edit: and by tires I mean check them out and make sure they aren't wearing irregularly.
