Those are good things to do at that mileage. Some of the things I do is bleed/exchange all fluids at least every 6 months (except for oil which I do at ~7500 miles). Brake, clutch, diff and tranny must be purged (well, the diff doesn't have to be done at 6 months, but since I auto-x, I feel that it's good to do so.)

If you haven't done so already, switch to a quality synthetic oil. In time the mileage will increase and will induce less wear on the car, since the motor spins to 9k I use Royal Purple 10w-30, some use Mobil 1, the rich suckers go with Amsoil, which I believe is the best to use. I've only met 1 owner who used an additive (moly) and claims good results.

Other things I'd recommend doing is to treat your interior leather/vinyl to a good Lexol treatment, along with 303 protectant. I also use Shin-Etsu grease on all of the rubber parts of the car to keep them pliable and soft. The tube costs a lot from Honda, but a little goes a long way. The driver's side side-bolter gets messed up with use so it's good to focus a lot of attention there.

If the car is bought used, it's also a good idea to get a 4 wheel alignment done, and perhaps get the wheels/tires re-balanced. The battery should also be cleaned, and treated to prevent corrosion, I'd also look underneath the front of the car where the plastic diffuser lies. Sometimes those factory clips break off and cause rattling. Oh, and don't forget to give the car the Zaino treatment!
