I am right outside of 250,000 miles on my 2006 IS250. I have to say this is one of the most amazing, efficient, and low maintenance car that I will ever drive. All I have done is oil changes with MOBIL 1 full synthetic, replace the brakes every 50,000, replace O2 sesnor, 120,000 mile tune up, and replaced A/C compressor. I did not go by the Lexus Preferred Maintenance program. Now obviously with this many miles issues will come up, such as the transmission is starting to slip, rear axles are knocking, overheating if sitting in idle for more than 15 minutes in 100 degree heat and that's about it. It is still smooth in idle when in most cars when you hit 100,000+ miles you have to replace the motor mounts. I have modded my car with exhaust, rims, and slammed 4 inches off the ground. All in all if my car was to break down on me today I would walk away with a smile knowing that coming from a Mercedes C230 5 years ago with 120,000 miles that in the end had to be towed away from a couple of thousand dollars. I am a lifelong Lexus customer.

Nice to hear your IS250 is still running strong. Did you do anything to address the slipping transmission and the overheating? What about carbon build up?

i swear these cars are built Toyota tuff.. My 97 ES300 just hit 130k the other day. I've had the since it had 55k miles and all i've done is regular oil changes, tire rotation, Evaporator, and 90k timing belt, Just replaced the IAC valve thursday.. Not bad IMO with this many miles..

can't beleive you hit 250k miles in 5 years..

Whoa! 250k?! I wonder if mine would last that long? I still got a long way to go. Just barely hitting 20k on mine.
