As a new owner of an ES 350, just have a few questions:

1. Expected gas mileage city/highway

2..Does this vehicle have a timing belt or chain?

3. Does transmission need to be serviced or is it a sealed unit?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the ES!

1 - Varies. Search for the gas mileage thread to see what to expect.

2 - Chain.

3 - Sealed.

Congratulations! You're gonna love the car. I have a 2008 ES 350 with over 200,000 miles on it. Still looks new and runs great! Just purchased a 2017 ES 350.

1. I get about 30-32 mpg on the highway. Don't drive in the city!

2. Not sure , but I believe it is a belt.

3. Transmission is sealed .

Chain and sealed never has to be replaced.

It is not a belt. It is chain.

Are you new to Lexus?

I get about the same highway mpg as stated above and it doesn't seem to matter which mode I use (ECO, Normal, Sport).The small amount of city driving has been 20-25 mpg.

I currently own a GS300 2006...Been a great car. Plan on keeping this one. The ES is my wife's

I get about 28 mpg from a mix of city and freeway on 2015 es350.
Transmission is sealed but I will replace the fluid at 100k miles. No fluid can last forever. But it is your call whether to replace.
