Just keep doing what the previous owner did!.. Keep engine serviced regularly... May be due for timing belt and 'components kit' unless you have a record that it's been replaced and at what mileage... Suggest having your mechanic take an overall look at it... *Keeping it maintained is the key* I've see seen 500k on em. Without any real problems... Toyota in general has proven to be a good reliable vehicle!
