They are old cars worth next to nothing. It's far simpler to drive it until something makes a noise, gets annoying or breaks completely, then fix it. Oh, check the obvious fluids etc, and change the oil when you can.

I would like to say that at no point did I copy this information from anywhere...

When it comes to parts, I agree with the above, just wait till it drops off/blows up/stops working. Only do work if you have to, the more you tinker and mess with things the more it goes wrong.
