Thanks guys for the quick response. Don't know much about car, just driving it. BTW, with the cost of the gas, are you guys still using the premiun or the regular or mid grade? What happens if you choose to have the lower grade? Will that ruin the car? Would you have any tell tale signs or weird sounds that would indicate that it has adversely affected your car by using the lower grade gasoline?

I bought a 2000 LS400 2 years ago for $22K with a 39,000 mileage. The guy is the 2nd owner & sez he barely used the car becoz he has other cars to use. I just now reached the 90K mileage & according to Lexus dealer & other places I went, it is now due for a new timing belt also....the cost is between $480- $700 My other mechanic says that I should still be able to use it without any problem. One other mechanic says that he is surprised to have it replaced so soon as other don't do it until 120K miles....what do you think guys? Please advise & let me know who I should believe. I can certainly use the money for something else instead of the replacing the timing belt but then again I don't want to die should that thing failed on me. I do a lot of driving back & forth from San Francisco to Sacramento....about 200 miles roundtrip. The rest of the maintenance has been done except for the timing belt.
