Thanks! I'm already enjoying. I think it might need a new transmission but that's for another day. I paid $900 and am pretty happy with the way it runs. The vehicle has 384k on the clock and still seems to run great. No blue smoke or burning oil that I notice.

What kind of Preventative Maintenance should I expect?

I can already see it needs some new coolant hoses etc. But other than that what should I be doing? I've heard to keep a CPS in the glove box as a precaution. Hopefully my wife doesn't have it if/when mine goes.
