sup CL! I just recently purchased a 97 es300 with 149k miles on it for my wife. I just need to know what tune ups were suppose to be done by now?
I also just found out the timing belt was never replaced. Is that really high important? How much is it going to run be to have it replaced?
Thanks CL!!!

Congrats on getting a nice car like the ES for your wife. I did the same thing to my wife as well, only it's a 98 Corolla. Still good for her since she has a short commute every day, and the car doesn't eat up as much gas as mine lol.
As far as the timing belt goes, if that has never been done, then chances are that the entire 90K service package hasn't either. That includes all the fluids (i.e. coolant, engine oil, power steering, differential, transmission, etc.), air filter, A/C filter if equipped (I don't think the 97 has such a filter), drive belt adjustment, and the water pump. After all is said and done, expect to pay somewhere in the range of $900-$1,500 for the service package. You'll definitely get a loaner while the car is in service.
