I've searched a lot and found bits and pieces of the answer here and there, but thought it would be useful to have some kind of list indicating, on average, how long key parts can be expected to last in a 100 series LC/LX. Assuming a caring owner who didn't skimp on service and preventative maintenance, because otherwise the part lifespan may be seriously shortened. And assuming a vehicle that has seen "regular" use (i.e. not off-roading or extreme expedition use).
Part of my motivation is I've been looking at a couple of 200k mile specimens with scant service records, so am trying to anticipate what PM or repair may be coming if buying such a vehicle and assuming that many or most of these parts have not been replaced before. I know buying a vehicle with that much mileage and little service records is crap shoot, but I'm just trying to better the odds a bit.
If this kind of list exists already, please point me to it. Otherwise if some long-time 100 owners can chime in on their experience that would be great. Thanks.
Engine: good for 400k service
Transmission: 300k
Brake rotors: 150k
Timing belt: 180k (though should be replaced at half that)
Water pump: ??
Brake calipers: ??
Steering rack: ??
CV's: ??
Diff's: ??
Starter: ??
Ball joints: ??
Springs: ??
Shocks: ??
Brake booster: ??
Alternator: ??
O2 sensors: ??
Other sensors: ??
AC: ??
Radiator: ??
Rad hoses: ??
Thermostat: ??
Belts: ??
