I bought 350 for wife and seeing threads that at 100k it could leak from every possible seal and transmissions going out is not really a Lexus thing. (Knock on wood, I hope it's a good car cause we both like it)
I also understand that **** happens to cars and its fairly common on Germans, but it doesn't make it ok.

PS. I too had e46 M3, had some issues here and there but it was CPO. Reason why its so hard to let my s2k go is the bullet proof reliability. People don't even replace a clutch until 200k miles lol

Few years ago wanted Porsche Cayman S, those guys seem to be going through clutches every 50-60k without even racing....
