Clutch is another good thing to check. Throw it in 5th at lower rpm and floor it. If the rpms jump without any acceleration, the clutch is slipping. 65k of highway miles wouldn't scream "fried clutch" at me, but it's easy to check. Change the filters asap. I personally change all the fluids when I buy a used car so I know that they've all been done.
