Default 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Hello everyone, I have recently purchased a used 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I'm assuming there has been little to no service done on this car, and it is just over 117,000km (72,000miles). My question to you is what maintenance should I get done on this vehicle, or what should get looked at soon?

Thanks for all the replies.

You can let the thread go a little longer before bumping. Most people will hit the new posts so it will show up then, saves a little frustration for you.
Anyhow if you think nothing has been done then you new to get the timing belt looked at as well as transmission fluid, oil and coolant. You should have your brakes checked nand you MAY want to get new plugs and a fuel filter. You can always drop by a dealership and sneak a peek at the recommended maintenance schedule and then get it done somewhere else. The timing belt is expensive and I think it is 140Kish before changing (not sure) but it is a good time to get any transmission work done.
My eclipse ran great and nothing ever really "broke" but get someone you trust to check all the fluids and the accessory belt.
