I have recently purchased a 2002 sc430 with very low miles 22000 at purchase 26000 currently. Was wondering what should be at the top of my list for replacing. Right now my number one priority is the timing belt it was last replaced 10 years ago. What else should I do as preventative maintenance. Plan on getting timing belt done, transmission fluid, radiator fluid flush. What else should I do or look out for. Thanks

    Plan on getting timing belt done, transmission fluid, radiator fluid flush

    Transmission fluid doesn’t really go bad with age. If it looks good and doesn’t smell burnt best to just leave it alone until you hit Toyota’s criteria for replacement.

    You do need to flush the brake fluid. It absorbs water.

    Other than that, I’d suggest you inspect all the rubber hoses and bushings and only replace if they’re showing signs of degradation. Toyota typically used very high quality materials when building these, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they all check out OK. I would not pre-emptively replace any of these rubber components unless you’re willing to pay up for OEM parts.
