I spent over 2 G's for the 90K service and a couple other misc repairs on my ES. I don't really feel sick about it since that ensures me the car will last longer (though I probably could've gotten it done cheaper at Toyota)

I only feel sick if I was to spend that much if the dealer ripped me off. If it's for performance parts, bigger wheels, etc., then I won't feel as bad. By the way, what did you spend $2000 on if you don't mind me asking. I'm gonna be spending about at least near $1000 for parts and labor by the end of this month for a complete T-belt change. Labor is only $350 and includes changing t-belt, water pump, spark plugs, spark plugs wire, crank seal, tensioner, and cam seal. I'm gonna buy the parts from Lexus seperately and pay the mechanic to install in the parts.
He also has a sc400 that has over 220k on it and doea all the work himself so I trust him w/ my car. I hope nothing goes bad, knock on wood.

How about when you send in the mortgage payment for $2500.....then the next day you donate $2700 at the roulette table in about 1 hour. Oh well....

I spent over $8k for engine and under the carriage suspension mods, and once you close the hood or drop the jack, you can't really see a difference .....now if that doesn't make you sick to your stomach, I don't know what will....
