How many miles do you drive a year? At 25,000 miles a year, I would take about 30 years to get my GS4 to 1,000,000 miles. It currently has 245k miles from the previous owners in 15 years.

I bought mine with 138k right at 2 years ago and I am about to cross 200k. So I am working on it. That puts me around 30-31k a year.
Maybe in 26 years if I keep this 80 mile a day commute up.... (I sure hope I don't!!!)
Maybe Lexus will buy me a new GS in 25 years if I make it?!?!
I used to commute 150 miles a day.... I put over 110k miles on my Fleetwood in just over 3 years.

Come on guys and gals. When that next flashly, curvy body line appears, you might jump all over it? You might say, I want that car. My 2gs is old.
I have a 2gs 4. I love the car. It has almost 200k on it. Everyone is tempted.

I have a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (with factory 7000# tow package), 250k miles
I have a 1999 K2500 Suburban LT with the 454 with 198k miles
I have a 2000 Buick Park Ave Ultra (supercharged is std on Ultra) with 198k miles
And my 1998 Lexus GS400 with 199k miles. By FAR the Lexus is in the best shape. The Buick is just worn. Good car, but not near as refined as my Lexus. The Cadillac runs great, fantastic power, better city mpg than my Buick, 0-60 in 7 sec flat or better (15.2@95 mph) for a 5000 lb race weight car, but the body is rusting away. The drivetrain is solid, body is tired. The Suburban runs good, can pull 10k without breaking a sweat, but just overall cheap plastics everywhere. Tough truck, but plastic interior.
My wife loves the Buick, but I am so tired of a buzzy and rough V6 and wrong wheel drive.
So far at nearly 200k, the Lexus has an easy 200k left in it. Just runs solid.

I can't complain how mine drives. I added the chrome 7 spoke 17" wheels which sets it apart from every other GS I have seen, It starts and runs like a clock. And at 200k it runs like this.
