I have a '98 that has 105k on it. when I got close to 100k I did:
1. Timing belt
2. Water pump
3. Drive belts (because labor on them with the timing belt off was practically nothing - basically just paid for the new drive belts)
At Lexus this cost me ~$850
Of course air filter, oil, oil filter, and trans fluid should also be considered depending on when they were changed last.

Definitely call around, some may even tell you to go to an independent shop, but I NEED my car to run for the next 6 years so I take it to the dealership for anything I can't do at my apartment complex.

^ Ok, cool. I was not sure. VVT-i is 6 coil packs then. Good to know
They are all made on the same assembly line. When the '07 Camry came out and the 6-speed tranny failures surfaced, it was well know. But most people didn't know the Lexus's that had the same V6 and tranny's, also had the same failures. It was kept under wraps. It;s all the same ****.

Well, some stuff is better most likely, such as leather seats, interior materials, etc. Mechanically it;s the same stuff. All the Lexus parts come in Toyota boxes with and use the same part numbers. Even if they were made in different factories, I highly doubt it would be better quality.
