Question Post ONLY if your 430 has 250k miles!

Ok, was wondering how many people here at the Club have 250k miles on their LS?

Please post ONLY if you have 250k+ miles on your 430.

This is NOT a thread of how many miles you currently have.

This is a thread where you post ONLY IF you have 250k miles on your 430. Again, for those who have a hard time understanding instructions....ONLY post if you have 250k+ miles on your 430.

In addition to posting how many miles 250k+ miles you have, please post what year, and what owner (first, second, etc) you are!

I'm really not interested if you have 249k miles, so please don't post if you have 249,999 miles or less!

Thanks for posting ONLY if you have 250k+ miles!

It's not mine but I saw one at the shop with way more than 250k mi. I know it's a 2001 ML package.

How has the Equus held up? I test drove a 2015 fully loaded Genesis the other day. The 3.8 liter. Pretty nice car but not very refined. Engine was noisy. I liked the modern features. Asking price was stupid. 55 grand. I would much rather get a slightly used 460. Mileage was only 18 / 25 on the V6 which is disappointing to boot.

So far, so good. No serious issues. It's way more refined than the Genesis. Mine was $55/57k out the door (demo model)
I ended up getting a 2015 model also.
The Equus resets fuel economy gauge, everyone you add gas. Averages 19/20 mpg. It's a beast of a motor, 429HP.

Take a drive in an Equus, great value imo. New 2014's can be had for $45k.
