Need some help. I have a 2010 RX 450 H FWD with 235,000 miles. Love it and it has been basically trouble free. I do mostly interstate travel. Not sure about whether or not to tempt the Gods on taking this to 300,000. Any thoughts? Thanks.

You have 235K mostly trouble free miles so I'm sure you have maintained it well..If it was me I would keep racking up the miles.. If you're thinking of selling it, IMO I don't think that an add'l 65K miles is going to change your resale value that much at this point..

2010 RX350 AWD, 178,000 miles as of this weekend.
I have had a lot of maintenance done on this car, but only 1 minor 'repair' - rear brake bracket broke once and had to be replaced during a brake job. All fluids have been changed according to recommended schedule at Lexus dealerships. I do the oil changes at home Mobile One 0w-20 every 5,000-10,000 miles.
Its a noisy little engine in these things. Mine has had the ticking noise since I bought it, but I have learned to ignore it. I have listened to many other Lexus/Toyotas with this engine and the sound is common.
Hoping to take this car to 300,000 miles and beyond. I currently am averaging 25,000 per year, so it shouldn't take long.

Many worry free miles
My 2011 was purchased with 141k. It now has 187k. Whoever had before me took excellent care of it and drove it easy. Everything I’ve looked at since I bought has been in tip top shape, and I intend to keep it that way. Had to replace a wheel bearing, but other than that one repair, it’s only been regular maintenance.

I actually went over the complete maintenance schedule before deciding on what items to get done. Got the brake fluid flushed too since we didn't know when it was last done. Next item would be to replace the radiator coolant in about a year or so.
The rear shocks were leaking when we bought the car so got that done as well as both front and rear brake pads at the time of purchase.
Anything else I should be looking out for?

Sandi - have you never thought about doing a transmission fluid change? My wife drives 2010 RX350 AWD. Bought it Jul 2015 with 74k and now has about 93k miles. Got both front transmission fluid as well as rear differential fluid changed few weeks ago. My indy mechanic said that the transfer case fluid level and condition was just fine so didn't do it.

Clean mass flow meter
Clean Throttle body
Change spark plug
change water pump/pulley/Tensioner
change Serpentinebelt.
Then you will be good for 200K.
