Timing belt /tensioner, use only OE Honda, or AISIN parts. Change the transmission fluid every 3-4 oil changes, its cheap and easy, just a drain and fill . Only OE Honda Fluid .
Ive replaced a few halfshafts, starters, alternators, ac compressors and a few other basic things on higher milage ones , but for the most part, simple maintenance, without rust, easy 250k.
There is a valve adjustment interval also . I've had to cure a few missfires at super high mileage by a simple valve adjust, when other shops measured compression and condemmend the motor as having a bad cylinder/burnt valve .
Super pedestrian , and about as exciting to drive as a lawn cart, but solid, practical vehicles . Nice score .

Thanks I figured heck for what paid for it in cash that’s only a couple weeks worth of a car rental so had to buy it. Nice to have a few back up drivers ect.

If it develops a miss adjust the valves. Keep the trans fluid changed, ignore the book and change it with castrol synthetic or OE Honda fluid annually- it's absurdly easy to do. Honda transaxles from that era are fragile. Keep an eye on the belt tensioner as well.
