276k
My 1998 has 276K+ miles on it. I haven't had any major issues with it until this past week when I had to have the transmission rebuilt. There's a couple of little nook and cranny things starting to go out here and there, but thankfully nothing really major besides the transmission.

@Dicer, I'm not sure. I'll have to look at the work order to find out. But I took the car to a Lexus dealer to have them change the transmission fluid when I first bought it three years ago.

Mileage
I'm happy to report that I am at 423,000 miles on my 1991 LS400. I did have to replace the engine about 50,000 miles ago when the compression was sufficiently degraded that I could not pass the smog test here in California. My mechanic found a 75,000 engine in Texas and I'm back on the road again.

not sure if this was intended for me...
yeah there is a little damage mainly the kind caused from a careless old man with failing reflexes and senses lol.
the exhaust was dangling on the ground and he hit something on the front need a new bumber but it runs and rides better than my dreams.

1995 Lexus LS400. I'm sure my mileage is middle of the road in this contest. Just dropped in a refurbished ECU and it's running as good as it ever has under my ownership.

140K miles and going strong. The only issue is she is leaking small amounts of oil. I took it to my mechanic and he said some of the seals are cracked (For 20 years in the desert I am not surprised if they dried out). He said the amount that it is leaking it could leak for 6 months and it won't look any different on the dip stick. Since it will be 1K to fix I figured unless it gets worse ill wait until its next major maintenance comes up. I will just keep a eye on it and make sure the oil doesn't get low. Other than that she is perfect

300,000+ miles and still going. on my second timing belt since my taking ownership. I have replaced my shocks all around both upper and lower ball joints and UCA's
I recommend changing your ball joints and shocks every 200,000 miles. I have to say both times I changed my timing belt it looked like new. my next project is fixing my fog lights. they stopped working a few years ago. I almost never use them so I have not givin it much thought. but it is now on my list. I hope it is just the relay as i checked the fuse already.
this is my last Lexus. I recently sold my other ones. I plan on putting on 500,000 miles on my 1995 LS

1,187,000kms! (740,000 Miles) 😊😇
Im from Australia, i own both a 1992 ucf10 and a 1995 ucf20.
My ucf10 is my daily driven vehicle, its clocked well over 1million (kms) on the O.d.o now 1,187,000kms! (Thats nearly 740,000miles)!! Original engine, no heads done or rebuilds. It has not 1 leak, nor does it burn any engine oil, coolant, no smoke etc (except the tiniest bit of PS oil as expected in all ucf10s), other then that the car drives and feels like it's just left the show room floor and seeks to amaze me of its sheer reliability/durability !
Too top it off i brought it from a bloke who had every single service & maintenance done by the same Lexus dealership he brought it from new! And kept every single receipt for its past 25years of duty !
