I have a 2002 LS430 with 224,400 miles on it and it runs like a top! Never changed the spark plugs either......

I have 200,203 miles on my 2004 LS430. I am in awe of how quiet and rattle free it still is.

^^^That is amazing! Bring it to 500k! Would love to own a car with that many miles. Highest miles in our family of car's is 225k, on our 01' Sequoia.

I'm at 207k, but at a certain point to those of you with 200k+, what do you do with the car once you get a new one? Do you trade it? It would be hard to sell privately, or do you just keep it as a second car? I have the dilemma of this right now and i just can't get myself to trade it, we've had the car since brand new.

I've just gotten to the 300k mark on my 1992 LS. I want to hit the 500k mark. It's still running great. UZ engines are freakin amazing.

Not a Lexus but recently drove our 2000 Avalon with 247k on it to the beach and back. Put 1000 miles on it, not a hiccup at all. Recently we've had problems with critters getting in it with it sitting outside at my dad's house. Squirrel took a ride on the serpentine belt, you can imagine the bloody horror that was the engine compartment after that. Chipmunk decided to eat the evap lines on top of the gas tank, that was several hundred dollars as well. Other than those incidents, it hasn't missed a beat in the past 3-4 years.

1993 SC300 5-speed w/237K and counting. It's had some minor restoration since I bought it but everything works and it drives great. I've even taken it cross-country twice. One of the best cars I've ever owned. I'd love to try taking it to 1M miles eventually. Farah's car is an inspiration!
