I think I've got the record. I've got a 1994 GT Hatchback with 247,000 miles on it. This is what I've had to replace so far:

Timing belt and water pump every 60,000 (just preventative maintenance)
Starter motor and solenoid (failed about 20 k miles ago)
both axle seals on the manual tranny (80 dollars each. one 10 k ago, and the other 2 weeks ago)
Left front wheel bearing and hub (2 weeks ago)
radiator (plastic reservoir on top started to crack due to aging plastic)
Stock air intake hose (cracked about 10k ago)
new clutch at 184k

I think that's it. I change the oil every 3k and let the car warm up for at least 2 minutes before driving it in the morning, and it's still going strong. Most people do more maintenance than what I listed on a car with one quarter of the number of miles I've got on mine, so you've got no worries.
