Default First Things First

My new-to-me 2000 RX300 AWD will be arriving on Monday. Garage kept, Lexus maintained, granny driven, clean, 60k miles.

Want to properly focus on first things to look at or do; I haven't wrenched on this car before, so I'm not familiar with it. Taking suggestions for the first five things I should look at, review, confirm, replace or fix.

Thanks!
Douglas

Go to lexusowners.com or toyotaowners.com and check the service history. No need to do maintenence on already serviced items.
if nothing has been done:
timing belt and water pump
cam and crank seals
valve covet gaskets
flush all fluids
replace all 4 calipers and resurface rotors, new pads

depends on what needs attention.
