2005 just turned 82k miles.
Only minor common LS issues so far with tilt/telescopic motors in steering, mirror not adjusting correctly. Only things coming up are tires and timing belt.

2004 Modern Luxury Mystic Gold
Purchased Aug 2013 w/63,000 miles
Lots of city driving and sadly has 99,000 miles now
No mechanical repairs whatsoever! Best car ever!
Blew out the rear amp last year and the Lexus Platinum warranty covered it
Platinum warranty also covered the rattle in the moonroof a few weeks ago.
Have serviced it on time. Brake pads, new tires, and the 90k service done on time. I know if it was a Mercedes I would have taken a beating on repairs by now.
I really hope my LS goes to 250-300,000 miles!

My 2005 Ls430 276229 on it.
Please state the year, mileage, how many miles you've put on it since you've owned it, and any major problems you've had with the car.
I'll start:
2004
84,200
I've put 3k on her myself
No major problem yet!
I wonder if anyone else on here has more miles on an 04+? I'm planning on driving this one to 200k+

2004 LS430 220,000miles
Just about to hit 220,000miles on my 2004.
Bought it in 2011 with 89,000... put 130,000 on it in 4.5 years! brought it out to California and Back and drive it almost every weekend from New Jersey to Maine/Vermont/New Hampshire
So Far I have done:
Timing Belt
Bought a Water Pump to put on but the stock one hasn't gone yet so its still in the garage
Suspension Arms
Coil overs (front shocks went so I upgraded the whole system to coilovers)
Rebuilt front wheel hubs
General items such as brakes and bulbs.
