Well guys Im now coming up on 60k miles.
I bought this 2002 Grand Prix Gt with 38k miles
about 2 years ago. So far Ive had the passenger
side window fixed, and the resistor on the fan
replaced. The weather stripping on the passenger
inside also was torn and had to be glued back.
Other than that it runs great. Is there any thing
I should look out for during the 60k-75k period?

60K? You amateur. I bought my 03 in August of 2007 with 100K. I just rolled 139K today.
I would not say to look for anything special, but changing the trans fluid, trans filter, fuel filter & coolant may not be a bad idea if they have never been done.

basically what chevman said, and also keep a look out for intake leaks, though it may be a bit early for that.

Every 50K is needing a trans. fluid flush, Check the coolant, Watch for LIM gaskets going on ya, switch from Dex cool if not done already, Check plugs if ya wanna....
Replace fuel filter assuming you havent.
PCV valve too.
Check for what the coolant look like, IE brown.

Tire plus said this so when your trans brakes you go back to them to hand them more $$$$ to fix trans!!!
