Car looks pretty good too. Great testament to the longevity of these cars. Not really sure you can put a price on this car but maybe someone will buy it.

It really does look pretty good. I'd assume the front end had some paint work at some point.

I assume the cam and crank seals were done over 100K miles ago.

I'd buy that for $3k..

If the maintenance was done properly, it should have been replaced as part of the timing belt.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a car with that astronomical mileage, though it's quite a testament.

It would make a great taxi

i love the tape on the dash cluster,what warning lights is that covering.
as LZAM said,this car might of been a taxi.LOL

Good to see those miles, but I wouldn't want to buy a car with them that high....I for a moment was afraid my car was a taxi/fleet, because I didn't know the SAT radio had that puck on the trunk. Luckily in NYS there is a certification that comes with used cars stating it was never used as a taxi/rental....sorry but I'd stay away from previous loaners or rentals....

These days it could have been an Uber car for a few years haha. Seriously though I just think its great to see one with such high mileage but there is little use for the car now. Parts are worn out and anything major to repair will well exceed the value of the car. Maybe someone on here wants to buy it and try to get the the half million mark!

Tom57

Right, they should've been replaced twice by now ... every 90K for timing belt and internals, every 180K for cam/crank seals.

Wish it were closer. It would be cool to see what it sounds like and how well it drives.

It's in amazing shape for those miles.

It's not something I would want to buy, I could easily see it needing a new transmission and basically totaling the car, but for a "beater" it would be worth the gamble of $3,000. Way nicer than what you could usually get at that price point. If you had a teenager getting their license, might be a nice starter car.

This is an excellent strategy to keep your kids from being behind the wheel too much. I texted my buddy when I bought the LS430, with a pic. He goes OH YEAH THAT IS SOME SERIOUS STEEL FROM TAHARA AICHI! He showed it to his wife and daughters. The 15 y.o. said that is seriously an old person's car. John's wife's car is way cooler (the avg. age last I knew was 59 for what my wife drives lol)

Interesting discovery;
There are 3 entries on the Lexus Owners Site for this car. The first is at 10 miles for the acceptance check, the next on is at 4700 miles for the 5,000 mile service and the third and last is at 111,000 miles for a burned out tail lamp. Really no maintenance was done at the dealership, but obviously something was done to the car, as it's still on the road. As clean as the interior is I would assume that's a lot of highway miles. I wonder how long the transmission would last...
