IntelliChoice: RX, IS, ES, LS ranked Lowest Cost of Ownership in their Classes
http://www.yourlexusdealer.com/pdf/I...f?s_ocid=30514
RX 
For 15 years, Intellichoice has published the award winning annual “The Complete Car Cost Guide.” A look at how all seven costs of ownership impact the total cost of a vehicle. And while it is a lot to consider, when you add them up it is plain to see why Intellichoice has rated the Lexus IS, ES, RX and even LS with the lowest cost of ownership in their class.* Something that may put the practical side of your mind at ease as you settle into the Lexus you’ve been dreaming about.

Oddly enough, before we got rid of it my mom's RX300 had the same amount of miles as my Subaru and nearly identical repair work. Both had an oil leak, starter replacement. The difference is that Lexus paid for half of her oil leak repair.
ls is too rich for my blodd

I suggest that you check their website first... it is not just servicing prices, it includes everything from purchase, fuel mileage, servicing and then selling the vehicle.

but i don't deny the convenience of the bmw though. you pay more, but you just bring it in for services and no need to worry about taking out your plastic
