If anything is likely to go wrong that will be it, you might notivce it getting hard to start, running erratically, running fine then shutting down and after sitting starting back up or perhaps being affected by damp or rainy weather, If you have these symptons it's likely your coil. Other more minor trouble spots are the wiring at the trunk hinge (wires break affecting tail lights and dash indicator lights) and wires going into the doors controlling the automatic seatbelts and power windows - they too fatigue over time. Other than that these cars are pretty tough!
Good Luck.

Do you check the alarm system? May be need to set up.
