  1. Well my wife had a test drive in a Nissan Maxima and she loves luxury now.. bad move on my behalf :) Was just thinking of other affordable luxury options that were more smaller manageable for a small female and Lexus came to mind. ie IS200 I do all my own servicing, have done for the last 16 years on a Datsun 260, Nissan 300zx z32, ae92 corolla and Holden Astra.. Only think I haven't done yet is pull an engine and transmission.. Just wondering if anyone can give me an idea at what the spare parts cost of these cars are like ? Is Lexus a sensible option for a DIY home mechanic? For the Astra I order genuine parts from the UK which can be 3 to 7 times cheaper than from holden, and for the Nissan 300zx I order genuine parts from USA which is 50% cheaper. Would appreciate if anyone can give me an idea of parts cost, and favourite places to source parts.. if its from toyota itself, or from overseas ? Also I assume alot of regular Toyota's perhaps share alot of parts with Lexus ? Look forward to hearing from other ppl's experiences. Would love to have a more comfortable car but at the same time try not to burn a hole in my wallet..
