Engine wise hardly anything. They will run forever just like any other Lexus. Just make sure regular matience has been performed on the car. Check to see when the owner replaced the timing belt, serptine belt, water pump, etc. Other issues are fading needles and backlight on the speedometer. Yellowed and condensated headlights, blacked out radio or climate control display. Check this out. http://intellexual.net/faq.html#03
