I am willing to bet the engine is original and has never been rebuilt.

That's impressive. The seats (particularly the driver's seat) seems relatively new given the age and the time spent in FL sun (all its life apparently).

WOW. $1900? Cheap. I'd buy it if it was in my area to own this incredible piece of history in the making!

This is amazing! Lexus should buy this and display it at HQ. Even has campaign potential for Lexus Marketing as someone mentioned on FB.

seats don't look original to me, likely re-upholstered...I'm somewhat local, going to talk to the owner for the rundown on it. definitely something a CL member should keep going to the million mile mark

Let us know what you find out!! That's beyond amazing. I also bet the engine hasn't been rebuilt.

However I think $1900 is a little high for a 900,000 mile car, Lexus LS or not.

Regardless, someone on CL needs to buy this up and keep us informed.

Miles ... take that x 1.6 = almost 1,600,000 kms!

You think it's high? I see it as the making of history hitting the 1M mark which (at least to me) does justify a small price premium on it.

Buy it, run it to 1mil, document all that (film), and contact Lexus to see if they'd give you a brand new car

Leather and door armrests had to have been redone. Also, didn't the stock steering wheel have a chrome logo or some other buttons on it? Could be a replacement (airbag deployed).
4WD???
