My 06,bought new, has about 93K miles. It had 50K mile service done at the dealer. Radiator flush, transmission flush (just a way to run up the bill). Replaced shocks and struts around 50 K also. I had plugs replaced at 60K (not necessary as they looked good, but the last car I owned with 100K plugs, the plugs crapped out at 60K) I still have original brakes.
I have had two sets of tires and a couple of wheel alighnments.
I'm taking it in next week for the 100K service at my local mechanic and may have the brakes replaced, if needed.
Following the DIC oil life monitor, I have been running Mobil 1 5-30 oil. My last oil change I used M1 high mileage oil.

I have a 2006 2LT with 154,000 miles on it and in the last 2 months I had to change the pipe going to the cat converter..coming from the engine (it's all one piece so you have to replace the catalytic converter- 700-850 repair depending on the thief, uh mechanic you use)...then I had to replace the front passenger side wheel bearing for the second time...Funny owned Japanese my entire adult life and I never, never replaced a wheel bearing...my mechanic says he replaces wheel bearings on GM vehicles all the time.....rear and front bulbs, blinking and headlamps...rear blinker bulbs twice....oh yea, be careful the little rubber membrane underneath the front passenger cowl under the windshield doesn't need to be re-glued.....GM uses cheap glue, on the rubber flap which covers the interior air filter underneath the cowl so if the front passenger side rug is soaking wet after a rain storm I'd check that out...happened to me.... otherwise the usual tires, brakes, O2 sensor, plugs (to be expected at 100+ thousand miles......still have the original battery though....I know I'm on borrowed time...good luck with your '07
Oh yea, both remote starters need replacement despite new batteries, re-soldering of battery holder in the remote....and you can't un-lock the friggin car by the key without the horn blaring...pain in the a--ss
