Default hold up well

Other than leather, my older SC4 had 160k and my SC3 had 270k miles on them. Never had a car -especially trans-hold up to my driving like this., Just do the service and you will be fine.

What is one of the worst things that can go wrong with a GS? What I am trying to find out is....if I get a 100k miles 98 GS or something....which I can;'t get warranty for, how much can it ever hurt me if I drive like most of you guys...normal half the time aggresive the other half (but no power braking or anything like that...but when I use manual sometimes I go up to 6k rpm)...what is the worst that could happen to my car with that type of driving on a 100k+ car without warranty???

I have mine serviced by Lexus regularly and bought it (used from Lexus) with a 3 year, unlimited mileage warranty, so no expense has been spared. The only bits that have been replaced due to wear are front ball joints, front brake disks (a couple of times) and a track-rod end (and tyres of course!!). I also had a new steering column when it started squeeking when it moved in and out in hot weather.

The vast majority of my 90K miles have been on the motorway (90-100 mph).

I reckon a high mileage Lexus is a pretty safe bet, as long as it has a full Lexus service history.
