Default IS250 long term reliability and miles report

My wife has a 2007 IS250 with almost 95,000 miles. The cars has been excellent, the only repair so far was the carbon buildup TSB done at the dealer few thousands miles ago, I do all the maintenance myself. My only current real complaint is the sticky dash, I'm keeping an eye on what Lexus does with it.

Post your miles and troubles with the car, I have not seen a recent thread here to cover high mileage IS250s.

There's a thread on here that lists owners along with their mileage and what they've had to replace. One repair you may be have do soon is the water pump. Mine went bad at 60K miles. They're good cars overall, can't really say that for my IS350, but one local guy I know has 400,000 miles on his 08 IS250!

Yeah he did. He also needed his engine rebuilt around 300,000 miles I think.

Was the engine rebuild correlate to carbon buildup?
