Thanks FuzzieLogic ! I am picking it up on Saturday morning :)

Hi all, Thanks for popping in and hope you can help me with my queries. I am about to accept an offer on a Lexus RX330 year 2003 from a Lexus dealership and if it happens it’ll be my very first Lexus experience. My questions are, 1. What sort of regular maintenance cost I should expect to pay ? is that annually or every 10,000 km or else ? 2. When is the big service for RX330 due ? what about 80K km ? When does the timing belt needs to be changed ? 3. Is the $2000 Extended Warranty for 3 years worth it ? Should I or should I not get it ? 4. What sort of known issue if any I should expect from RX330, especially an old year 2003 model ? 5. Where is the TRUSTWORTHY non-Lexus dealer, but qualified independent Lexus mechanic in Sydney ? 6. What sort of saving you can make by going to qualified non-Lexus dealer mechanic ? 20% 30% 50% or else ? 7. Lexus told me their Extended 3 years Warranty covers pretty much everything bumper to bumper (but consumables), is that right ? I am fully aware that to own a premium brand car like Lexus means it cost more to run and maintain, which to a degree I am prepared to do as long as it is not a rip-off. Again, thanks for popping in and hope to get some answers soon :) Regards, Zinc
