buying a 1997 es300 with 104,000 miles.

maintained excellently by the current owner, still looks and drives like new.

are there any parts or items i should be concerned about or replace as preventative maintenance soon?

i'd like the car to drive for at least another 104k... or more.

TIA!

At that mileage, just make sure the timing belt has been changed. That would be the main concern for me. Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to CL.

the current owner just had the timing belt changed, all the hoses replaced, and the other belts... and the radiator flushed; and all the other fluids changed.

and thanks!
