I posted that way back when I bought the car
However I would ignore that long range expectation of the coolant and other fluids they mention not having to be replaced. Toyota is overly confident in the fluids they use as we've seen before and "crunchiness" and such in the drive-train disappears with better new fluids in the diff and trains. Because you imported this car in and it had a previous owner, it's best to change all the fluids so you can start from scratch.
Also for some reason the owners manual says to replace the spark plugs at 60k which is odd and I doubt alot of people have done that. But if you can get a cheap quote on getting it done or doing it yourself I guess you wouldn't lose anything starting to save up for that now.
I would if you have time, tools, technical ability, or money I would do these right away or get someone to do them:
Change the cabin and engine air filter (easily done yourself)
Change the Coolant with the Toyota blue or Subaru blue coolant after a flush:

Differential fluid, and transmission fluid with the motul equivalent:

Put grease anywhere on the vehicle that has a zerk fitting, like the endlinks a dealership would call this a lube service I guess.
