Default Who Has the Highest Mileage Car on ClubLexus?



Honestly, at my first meeting with some of the Lexus PR folks, they didn't even want to talk about reliability. Seriously--they thought it made them look boring! And while I can see where they're coming from, I still think it's hilarious. Put that in comparison to companies like Land Rover, which purports to construct vehicles sturdy enough to cross the Sahara, but is most famous for leaving Beverly Hills yoga MILFs stranded in the Whole Foods parking lot. Or Ferrari, which can't comment on any reliability issues because it's currently ignoring a 458 engine fire. Those companies would kill to have Lexus' track record in that department.

So who has the car on CL with the highest mileage?

Default 2004 Lexus LS430

My 2004 LS 430 just crossed 260,000 miles. I have had her for 6 years. This car is unbelievable in terms of reliability, quality, and ultimate luxury. You will be hard pressed to find a car better that this. But I'm leaning heavily toward trading it in for the 2011 Jaguar XJ.

I absolutely love Jags. I had a '78 with the 350 swap which is hands down my favorite of the cars I've owned. But Jags are pretty flakey, even today. I would hesitate to trade something which has been so reliable for a Kitty. But damn if I don't love Jags...

I had a 1996 ES 300 with over 400,697 miles...a week later it was rear-ended. If I didn't get rear-ended I'm sure my ES would have over 500K miles right now...

My current CT has over 76K miles and my GX has over 13K miles...

We have a LX450 with 352,000 miles on it sitting on my property in Rochester. It is a family members who is overseas as I type. It has a leaking steering rack, bad cat, and a totally rusted frame that is beyond reproach.

However it still starts, everything inside still works, and gets about 11 mpg combined. It still does very well as for ride and handling.
