Lexus is the shit.

Engines are solid and so are the chasis. My moms 97 es300 NEVER went in for a tune-up or anything and it was solid for 160k miles when a o2 sensor went out then we found a lot of other stuff but only ran $1k total (including install and was earlier this year just if you want a time range). They are great quality cars, go for it. Make sure you get an auto though, toyota auto > toyota man. My moms shifts at 6k rpms (red line is around 6500) if you floor it and it is pretty quick.
