Dealer Going under, Help with buying parts!

So a local Mitsu dealer is going out or business and I have kinda gotten in good with some of the parts guys that work there. Anyways, they are giving me sick prices on a lot of things, so right now my car is at 45k miles (IX) and since its the only local dealer I was looking to get parts that I might need or can kinda stock up on b4 they go out of business. So far my list right now is:

10-15-oil filter
Timing belt ( what else is needed to do this at 60k?)
spark plugs ( since they are expensive as hell normally, lol)
1-3 containers of gear oil

so what else should I look at gettin? Or does anyone need anything that the dealer might have in stock that you want me to check a price on, if so let me know. I know they gave me a price on front brake pads, the set for like 170 or something, normally like 300. Anyways, lmk!

Timeing belt tensioner and Water pump is always a good idea at 60k if your doing the timing belt. Have you checked out vendor prices. I just ordered my timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing pulley, valve pulley, and waterpump from Slowboy Racing for about $400.

I asked about any tools and they said not as of yet. They didnt have the tbelt, but they had a tensioner for $80 i think. I think its normally like 140. I went and bought 10 oil filters ($3.50ea), last set of spark plugs ($10ea), and a container of Gear Oil ($30). So they cut me some deals, not CRAZY, but still saved me some money.
