Smile Just Bought RX300 (yr 2000) Maintenance?

Hey so I've just purchased a 2000 rx300 with nearly 200k miles. I was wondering what maintenece yall would suggest to maintain the vehicle for as long as possible? There are no problems at all. The previous owner had all tune up/maintenance done at the lexus dealership. What do yall do every month/year/couple of months to keep your car in tip top shape and prevent any failures? Also if theres anything yall would suggest i do now that i first got it that would help too! thanks so much.

I also have a 2000 with 200k and looking to do some preventative maintenance over the next few weeks...maybe it'll give you an idea of potential projects. If you have a garage and time to invest, you'll find most jobs are pretty labor intensive and parts aren't too expensive.

Stage 1: rear main seal, trans output seal, trans fluid/filter, rear diff and transfer case fluids.

Stage 2: engine timing belt, crank seal, cam seals, belts, tensioner/pulley, water pump, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs

Stage 3: suspension bushings, tires, alignment
