make sure the timing belt-water pump was done at 160kms/105kmiles
spark plugs were due then too..and every 100-150kms repeat all the above

change ps and brake fluids
ck coolant
ck battery condition at parts store (free) and clean connections
cabin air filter ($20)
new wiper blades for winter and washer fluid full

do a search for acura care canada (guessing thats your location)
register online and on phone to ck all recalls are done and online registration you can get the owner manual free-it lists the service needs
but in reality -any good tech can look the car over and see what you need
or you can assume a used car needs all fluids and go thru it with a good flashlight and socket set..ck every bolt for tightness
ck everything!

front and passenger side motor mounts fail all the time--look for oil traces on front and rear motor mounts as their failure signal- they are fluid filled and vac boosted (most years)
