who has a hi-mileage Lexus?
#211
Lead Lap
only at 128,000 on mine, not sure if that even qualifies me for "hi milage" lol...
assuming i continue to maintain it and given that i'll "exercise it bit" every so often(only after it's been properly warmed up of course), how long does the forum think i'll be able to keep it going given this current pace?
and when i say exercise i mean pressing the pedal an amount that results in shifts at like 4500-5000 rpm in pwr mode, probably like 3/5 or so pedal travel
it was bought from the dealer on august 6, 1999 with 3 miles and all that's ever needed to be replaced was the telescopic steering motor and the notorious radio LCD (pioneer's fault not even toyota). i actually had to replace the screen twice! the second screen started to die after not even 2 years, so i ordered two the next time lol in the hopes that it'd provide some insurance. it still runs great, drives much better even than many newer cars i think. everything's more responsive, direct, and simple, which just makes driving it so effortless

291,000 on my 1999 RX300. I have replaced the timing belt twice, and had to recently replace the knock sensors. Otherwise, runs great, highway or city. I will buy another if this one ever dies.
