I Just read a thread about brake bleeding, and it suggested to do it every two years or so. I don't think I have ever done it on this car, and I have 95,000 miles on it. How much of a difference will I notice by doing this?

You should do it every time you replace your pads.

IDK man, I see my dad bleeding the brakes every time he changes pads on our cars, it can't hurt.

You dont have to bleed the brakes every time you do a brake job or change pads. It just isnt necassary. If the fluid hasnt been changed and is black I would change it.
Brake fluid is normally clear. It wont hurt anything especially after 95,000 miles.
You might feel a better pedal and more brake pressure. I would bleed all the fluid out and flush the system with some new stuff.

I would do it once a year just because there is moisture which will later create air pockets.
