New guy. One month owner. 99 xj8 73k MLS. 1 owner, garage kept. No past issues. Other than hoses replacement and shocks in future, where else should I be proactive?

put where you live in the data in the upper right hand corner (locale matters -- cars in Los Angeles have less weather issues than those in NE US or Thailand or UK). Do you have receipts for prior owners' repairs: old worries are secondary timing chain tensioners (and at 22 years, the whole timing chain system), water pumps, thermostats and housing, headliners, upper shock mounts, A-bands on the transmission, antenna motors and on and on . . . it is an old car. Good news, just about every possible issue is covered in this forum: examine the stickies, read, go over the car with fine tooth comb and ask.
