I don't know anything specific about the RX330 but as a general rule
performance tyres that offer a lot more grip last a lot less than harder
compound tyres, I would expect that the Lexus has performance tyres so
38,000klms is not too bad.

It's been thrashed. 60 k would be a reasonable expect

"Trust-Me" they love front disks and pads too [on top of dusting the
front wheels with brake-pad-dust]
and $900 for a general service is considered "normal"

Keep it away from Lexus service centres [even though they treat you
like God and give you a loan car and car detail]

A wonderful vehicle esp. inside and reverse camera is neat, with superb
build quality and very very low NVH....Bit of a enigma really

What did  u pay for it?

OUT!

When I bought my 05 ES here in the US, it had a sticker on it saying the
tires are 'summer' tires and could wear out in as little as 20kmiles,
which is about the distance your ES has gone. For what it's worth, my
tires are nowhere near worn out at 20k miles. The service folks say if
you aren't an aggresive driver, the tires will last longer.

So, if the equip the ES the same down there, you could, perhaps, presume
it had been driven more aggresively. Or perhaps the previous owner
didn't check the pressure, etc...

As with any other make of car... it depends entirely on what type of
running it does.

My old 5L Dunny has consistently gone through a set of high
performance tyres (Michelin, Pirelli, etc) for every 20,000km
travelled.  Fuel consumption averages 12L/100km and front brake pads
typically last well in excess of 100,000km.

Others I know get 60,000km from a set of cheap tyres, average
16L/100km and have their brake rotors machined every 20,000km.

There's no doubt that the type of running mine does (long distance
cruising at sustained speeds, on secondary roads) is hard on tyres.
For the rest of the car, it couldn't get much easier.  It probably
averages about a quarter of the running time per km travelled as a
typical (city based) car.
