I have 130k miles on my 2000 RX300 FWD. Bought it used in 2008 with 80k. Main issue has been bad ignition coils. I had four go bad over a period of five years, and after the fourth failure I went ahead and replaced the other two as a preventative measure. Easy DIY fix.
I also posted this on the most miles thread thinking I was on this one.

If it's not, the manufacturer of brake pad will be broke.

I have about 223K miles on mine 2000 RX(paint is still shiny and smooth). Bought it when it was brand new from dealer. Currently it has some minor issues due to wear and tear, nothing major. Overall my RX has been a reliable ride for the last 15 years. Hope I'll get another 200K+ miles.
Cheers!

Just above 230,000 miles on my 02 from the dealer. It got some a number of small dents and paint chips after all these years. Bumper is toast (cracked the heck out of it this past winter after skidding on ice into the guardrail). Something's wrong with the bearing/cv, but I not sure how much I want to throw into this car at this point...

Miles on My Rx 300
Doing first spark plug change at 238,629 miles. Plugs looked surprisingly good. Only reason I changed them is several coils started to malfunction.

1999 FWD just turned 250k
Still running fine original engine and trans. But keep blowing coil packs. Too cheap to replace them all at once like they say you should do. And now I'm trying to figure out a cheap way of replacing the guts of my key that fell out. The cars been sitting foe a week.

Our daughter wrecked the 1999 Accord (doesn't take much for insurance to total one of those)
Got her a 99 RX300 with history of 2 owners, and a stack of service receipts from the dealership.
Needs a few things (brakes, shocks, tires) but the interior is in fantastic shape. Had the usual driver side visor sag, but pulled one at a wrecker yard for $7 and it works great. Got a center console cover for another $5 at the same yard to replace the one that the previous owner's dog had chewed on. Those little c-clips are a pain when you take one of those apart.
I was reassured about our choice after reading this;
