Lexus ES 300 Forum : “Gearbox life expectancy”

I have no idea what the millage is for when problems are expected but my 1997 ES300 has 126,383 miles and the only problems I have
had are an oil seal or two and a sensor but nothing that serious.

Thanks! The car I am looking to buy has had major work done (Belts, water pump etc) and had 180 000 miles on it, so I expect the transmission will need repairs shortly which can be costly

honestly bro,my mechanic says that car can reach 300k miles without a problem if u just do the proper maintenance.its a solid car,ive had it for 3 years and i just change oil/tires.nothing else.plus,depends how u treat it,i treat mine mean,i race,shif to 2 for more torque,and back to D  for racing while drivin and its smooth as hell for a 1997 lexus.
