How Long Can An Rx Go Before Problems

[punkyrules]

Hello,

Last night I purchased a 1999 RX 300 with 46k miles on from a Lexus dealership. The car is certified and I got the extended 5 year certification plan. I paid a total of 23,500 for the vehicle.

With 46k miles on the car, how long do you think before I start getting major problems with the vehicle? I am practically fully covered under the certification for the next 5 years (or odometer reading of 100k), but for those of you who have 1999 RX cars over 100,000 miles, how much in maintenance are you putting into the cars? I am hoping this vehicle will last me till about 135,000 before giving me any persistent problems.

Let me know...

Thanks

I bought mine with 80,000 miles, and at 85,000 I had to get new front and rear brakes. About $700, but everything else has checked out fine. No problems from previous owner either.

As long as you adhere to the recommended service intervals you should get no problems.

Parts that you would normally have to change in a service is all you need really.

Best advice too is to change the oil regularly... the more changes the better and that engine will take you 250,000 + without any hitches!
