Expensive to maintain.

My dealer has oil change packages, 3 changes and 3 rotations for $118 for regular, and $180 for synthetic. Flushes, alignments, and some other things and that are pretty similarly priced to ind. shops I've used. You just can't do those interval checkups, which are obscenely overpriced, and if you do things like change your own cabin or air filter, or brakes if you are even the slightest bit mechanically inclined, these are incredibly cheap cars to maintain or any car for that matter, just need to be a smart shopper/consumer.
I pay less at my dealer for oil changes than I would at AAA, and just slightly more than I would if I went to the ind. mechanic I use for repairs I cannot do, but given I get a loaner and a free wash and interior clean at the dealer, it well worth the $10 more.

Who said Toyota vehicles are cheap to maintain? Granted , they have rock solid engines so nothing will go wrong there but when any other part fails be prepared to pay out your "rear end". My 08 ES 350 has had two axle replacement in two years, speed sensor(abs), Washer Pump, etc. Replacing these things cost $1000 minimum each if you cannot do them yourself. As these vehicles past 90k Miles I would recommend getting of them.
The car is a one owner with a clean CarMax thats been serviced @ Lexus of Miami and Garage kept its whole life .

Go to Toyota for your service instead of Lexus. It'll be cheaper and you can set any worries aside rather than going to an independent mechanic unless you're familiar with their work. I've personally stopped bringing my car into Lexus and opted for Toyota or an independent mechanic depending on the job.
