Expatriate Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We have a 2002 RX300 AWD with almost 160K on the odometer. The car has been relatively trouble free. The only repairs we had were leaky power steering pump (fixed unde warranty at 50K) and throttle body (replaced at 130K). We're in the process of moving to Europe for 3 years and will be taking the car with us. Are there any particular engine/car parts that should be replaced as a preventative measure prior to our departure. We plan to do the timing belt, brakes, water pump,all fluids etc.., however we'd like to get an advice as to what might go bad that should be replaced now as the car is approaching 200K miles. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it worth doing all that? Are the cars in Europe much more expensive in Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK_3 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Expatriate, I beleive yo need to contact the (a) country youuj plan to call your base,possibly start at the consolate, to accertain what modifcations will be necessary. Omce yor registeresd in one country you can travel where you want. Plan on spending a couple k. In general different countries will have some sort of expensive but different conversion or taxes. You might want to contact a broker. Regards, PK Deepaki, Only England and Japan are right hand drive in the western world (that I know of).
