Lexus Repair: 2000 ES 3000 timimg belt, lexus toyota, drive belts


Question
I am a Lexus owner of a LS400 and about to buy a 2000 ES300 for my wife.  It has 59,000 miles and know that at 60,000 miles I should change the timing belt, at least this is my understanding.  What else needs to happen at 60,000 miles so I can base this on my offer price of this car?  Thanks.

Answer
Hello Greg,
 You don't need to change out the timing belt at 90k miles.  I would take a look at the valve cover gaskets, drive belts.  Have all the fluids flush out(coolant, ATF, brake fluid etc) at 60k Service. Thank you.
