I did the spark plugs at 60k and was glad I did, but if the car is primarily just driven around town I think you probably won't notice pushing the spark plug change later, whatever the dealer says about spark plug change now, I would be surprised if they charged you much less than $300 and some quotes have been $500+ for JUST spark plug change.
I was happy to DIY my spark plugs, but if I was facing a several hundred dollar bill, wasn't driving the car terribly hard or competitively, and I planned on selling it at some point down the road then I'd probably defer it too.
Edit: And as above coolant is 11 year replacement, ~137k miles, 75k miles after that, just inspection and top off at ~30k mile intervals, should check when you check the oil though

I am getting my plugs done at the end of the month so it will be around 110K or so. My TOB is starting to take on some very banshee like qualities so I can save some money by having it done when they have to lift the engine to do the plugs anyway.
I will ask them to give me the plugs so we can see just how they look after 98% highway driving for 3 years.
