Default My 2nd Gen GS400 hitting 275,000 miles! (vid)

This is a recording of my '99 GS400 hitting 275,000 miles a few months back. Thought I would share it with the forums. Lexus' last for a long time if you take care of them.

Congratulations on your car's longevity....and welcome to CL as a new poster.

Although there have (admittedly) been some improvements in the GS over the years, the '99 version you own represents an earlier age, when the average Lexus model was built like a tank. Some of the build-solidness, unfortunately, disappeared from later models. I also noticed that, to an extent, on some other Lexus models
