I would say if your car isnt doing anything dumb, then just the run of the mill preventative maintenance, like what Toronto said.

Tune up being plugs and wires. If it's an A-4 trans, service it, which is more than just changing the fluid. Manual, yeah just the trans and rear fluids. And serpentine belt. It's easy and usually over looked. Get some MAF sensor spray and clean that. Consider a Seafoam treatment. If you decide to do that do it first, then oil, plugs and the rest.

In the optional department, I would pump new brake fluid through the brake system to change that out cause it picks up water over time and becomes less useful.
