Thanks eatingup! More great info... about to register now.

Welcome Arty, How does the car drive? How do the brakes feel, tire tread remaining etc? I would suggest reading the owners manual in detail for specific maintenance services. Do your oil changes every 6 months or 5k miles, might need a tranny flush & brake fluid flush & perhaps a tire rotation.....other than that, you should be good to go. You can also find the info at www.lexus.com Call your local Lexus dealer to see what they charge for regular service......you also have the option to take it to the Toyota dealer......I stay clear of rapid lube places & such personally.....unless you have a trusted mechanic. Good luck & post pics of your new ride. Thank you so much for the quick reply and the great advice. As soon as I get some pics I'll definitely post. Regards, AG

Hi All, I just became a proud owner of an ES 330 about a month ago. It was actually given to me when my mother lost her job and could no longer make the payments. I really don't know what type of maintenance has been done to the car, and she has no records and can't recall what and when service has been done. She remembers oil changes, but not sure of what else has been done :( It now has 47,000 miles and I just need to know what type of maintenance / service is needed during this mileage point. I do know an oil change is due, but not sure what else I should be getting serviced. Also, do I need to get this done by the Lexus service dept. or can I go to any auto service center? What do you recommend? Is service on ES 330s ridiculously expensive when done through the dealership? Any info and guidance would greatly be appreciated! Thanks, AG
