trout Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 we have a 2000 rx and are up to about 63k miles with no troubles yet. Just had the 60k service done and they said everything looks great. We are hoping to get many many more miles out of it. My wife loves it and plans on keeping a long time. I will getting a brake job on it soon. Other than that it seems to be pretty tight. I also saw something on here about resetting the PCM...is this something that i should do every so often? When it is cold it seems to pop into gear pretty hard from R to D when backing out of the driveway and it has the occasional front end pop (struts or something?) but seems to perform well.

glfn10s Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 My RX is a 99 model and I just turned 120K! Had a transmission blow out which cost me $6K...kinda *BLEEP*ed about that now that I see others have recognized a problem.... Other than that....the car has been great !

Linda C Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 My 2000 RX300 has reached 81K with no brake job yet. I think it'll be time with the next service. Amazing! The serviceman teased me: "Are you sure you stop at red lights?" But then I never slam on the brakes at the last minute either when approaching a stop sign. Very pleased with this vehicle!!

dchan865 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I got 71K on my 2000 model. Runs great. Only thing I've ever done is regular filter oil, transmission fluid change, tire rotation, wheel alignment, put regular unleaded gas, and wash it twice a month. I haven't change the brakes or tune it up yet. The mileage is mainly freeway miles. It still run like it was new. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sriddle1nh Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 290,045 as of this morning, still runs great HOWEVER, replace the Transmission Fluid, pull out the metal screen, clean and put it back together @ 15K intervals, same with oil, 3K intervals.... Everything else by the book.... Purchased my '99 RX300 new, looking through my spreadsheet, throughout ownership, total costs to maintain, parts, etc. = $28, 334.
