Anyone own an RX300? I’m looking at a 1999 Lexus RX300 with 220k miles. It’s had one minor fender bender but very well maintained. The timing belt was replaced at 89k miles.
Would I have to replace the timing belt soon? Also anything I should be on the lookout with this car?

Don't own one but a 25 year old car is bound to have some issues. Many of the rubber components, bushings and such have already met their EOL. The timing belt hasn't been replace in 130K miles/& many years so that would need to be done. A lot, too much, relies on what you've described as being 'very well maintained'. A couple of examples; a well maintained car would've had the timing belt replaced periodically plus the transmission would've been serviced regularly. If these haven't been done, why not? 'Very well maintained' implies much more than oil changes alone. You didn't ask, but don't considering an old car like this for a daily driver, that's way too risky.
