I just bought a great looking 2007 RX400H with 200,000 miles for very good price.

I do not have any maintenance history on the vehicle. But there are no obvious issues anywhere and the car drives beautifully.

MY QUESTION : What should I ask my local shop to included in a tuneup? I'd like to keep her running as long as possible.

Congrats, Chris. This is an extremely reliable vehicle.

Oil and oil filter changes should've been done at every 5000 miles, so I'd have those changed if there is no sticker anywhere that indicates the last change date.
Check the battery date. If it is approaching 5 years, you may want to replace it.
The hood struts have probably been replaced by now. If they are functional, they probably were.

Engine air and cabin filters should be changed at every 10,000 to 12,000 according to my experience. Your mechanic can take a look at them to determine whether they are due for replacement.

The brake pads should've been replaced so have them checked.

At 90,000 miles, the following should've been replaced:
air conditioner filter
rear differential fluid
brake fluid
timing belt
transmission fluid

At 100,000 miles, the engine and inverter coolant should've been replaced.
At 120,000 miles, the spark plugs should've been replaced.
At 145,000 miles...engine and inverter coolant

Good luck and enjoy your new ride.
