Well, Hit 210K this morning, 2nd owner, 2001 Base LS, lifetime Colorado car, bought Aug 2012 with 121K, can't say enough good things. I do all of my own maintenance, only issue since doing the timing belt at 180K, a coil pack went bad about 3 months ago, just replaced the one.
Everything still works, did brakes a couple of times, starting to get some pulsating again, time to turn rotors, couple sets of Michelin's, synthetic oil change every 5K. Timing belt at 180K consisted of changing everything to include radiator, just a preventive maintenance thing for me, 13 year old plastic radiators and me do not get a long…
From a distance car still looks awesome, closer inspection, rust on the doors above the trim, yes Lexus if you are watching this is a problem. There is a fair amount of cosmetic wear on the front from doing 30K per year.
I keep saying that I am going to drive it until it drops; it’s given me no signs of being tired.
