I bought this model with the 3lt V6 in 8/2010. The car only had 110,000k's, and was in good condition for it's age. As the vehicle was over 11yrs old with the mileage well under the 150,000k's, and no evidence of the timing belt and other associated parts having been replaced at the 10 yr mark. So I had the timing belt, water pump and bearings changed and used Toyota coolant. This cost was around $1,000 and the was work done by my mechanic. I also had the auto-transmission serviced as the transmission fluid was black. The transmission had never been serviced as the original gaskets were still present. I'm from old school where transmissions need to be serviced regularly, not lifetime free service. This work was done by Auto transmission place. Since owning the vehicle, I've had no problems of any major faults. As I only do low mileage, around 6,000k's per year of inner Sydney driving of start/stopping, with the occasional long drive of around 160k's. The vehicle is serviced regularly every 6 months, and I'm using Valvoline Engine Armour 15W-40 Synthetic oil.
