Default LS with 900,000 Miles

OK, it's not the LS460, but I think that it's still appropriate to post here since it's about longevity of our "flagship" Lexus cars.

"What is the measure of a car? Is it the sum of its parts? Is it the experiences that we have in the backseat as nervous, hormonally-charged youths? Or is it all of the above, with a sprinkling of a characterful inability to die? /DRIVE and The Smoking Tire host Matt Farah set out to find the answers to these clearly pertinent questions. If you've been following him, as you should, you'll know that he purchased a 1996 Lexus LS400 with a hair under 900,000 actual miles on it from a guy in Florida for $1,500 with plans on getting it to a million miles just to see what would happen. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this counts as a job."

definitely interesting, but nearly a 20 year old car.

don't we have a member on here with a 300K+ mile LS460?

I actually read a while back about this car on the LS400 section of this site. Pretty cool if you ask me! Hope he makes it to 1 mil and on beyond.

You sir are correct, CL member sheff442 reported last March he had over 333K at the time. I know it was used as a limo for a couple of years before he owned it.

I really hope sheff442 checks in from time to time and let's us know how the thing is holding up. I love high mileage stories.
