Lexus build quality is generally rated higher than Toyota if anything. That price is too high, you can get them with lower miles.

what would i be looking at for like oil changes, brakes, that kinda stuff?

and i cant find anything with under 86k miles

All that general maintenance. And check for leaks and funny noises. With your budget, there shouldn't be any or you're getting ripped off.

As far as quality, you can kind of draw a parallel scale to the idea of Ford quality in the late 90s

Lincoln>Ford>Mercury

Lexus>Toyota>Scion

They share the same parts in alot of cars. Its not an expensive car to maintain for the most part. Theres one in my area with 40k for $16k.
