i have both but i have 140k on my IS350 (bought Dec of 05). Only thing i really did was the following:
- oil change (5k)
- dif fluid change (30 to 40k)
- spark plug (once) at 100k when Lexus had recall on valve adjustment
- battery (once) at around 100k miles
- on my 3rd sets of tires
Tire sensor is out - never got to replace them and can only be done at lexus....
Navi touch screen broke - this will happen if you have 250/350/ISF. This will also cost you over 2k to fix.
avg of 24 mpg
Knock on wood so far...

Also, about the touch screen, what do you mean this "will" happen? I think it's not an uncommon problem, but far from ubiquitous.

Are this kilometers or miles??? You waited 100K miles you change your plugs??? That's almost twice the manufacturer's recommended service interval, if so.

They car drives perfectly fine... i was actually getting better gas mileage before they replace the plugs...
Touch screen issue - maybe it's uncommon because not every car has a navi, and i personally know 2 people + me have this issue. Maybe this is why they new Lexus have mouse instead of touch screen? Regardless if it happens or not (if something happen to your touch screen you will expect to pay around 2k to 2.5k.
