Who has the highest mileage on an ES300?
One of my wife's best friends has over 356,000 miles on her 2002 Lexus ES300. She is the original owner.
Still on the original motor too.

Nice! I saw a pic of a 3ES that had 1 million miles, no idea on what type of repairs though.
I think this 4ES is one of the few that has miles that high, they are still relatively "new" for spaceship mileage.
Original transmission on it? That's the only thing I worry about, especially with that dumb DBW programming.

My 97 ES300 hit +280k miles on original transmission, engine, starter, PS pump, alternator.
Bare in mind that we have salt on our streets / highway which makes rusting common.

Damn that sucks, car looks totaled. Good news is finding another one won't be hard I hope you get fair market value from the other persons insurance. On that note call the other persons insurance don't wait for them to do it, open a claim. Or your insurance company might do it for you.

If you plan on buying another 4ES can you negotiate to keep the car? Would be a nice source of parts, take what you want/need and sell the rest for scrap. Losing out on your hard work sucks, but consider if you were paying a shop to do it all that's where people lose their shirt.
