Congrats to the OP! Your car looks new.
And Congrats to Trexus for having such a high mileage ES.
Hope to get there too someday. Any maintenance tips for the rest of us?
As for the timing belt, my 98 ES has 284K miles and I had the dealer change the timing belt twice at about 90K and 200K miles. This time, I am gonna wait to 350K and take a chance. I honestly think these belts can last 200K miles but Lexus recommends a lower optimal number.
Worst case scenario is that I get stuck someplace and have to deal with the inconvenience of getting towed.
