Call me strange, but every week I peruse the Mainheim Auto Dealer Auction site and look to see what's being sold that week. I'll sort the cars by mileage and I've seen some incredible numbers on vehicles. There's usually at least one or two trucks that will have north of 500K on them. Usually diesels.. The most I've seen on an RX was just over 300K. IIRC it sold for right around 1100.00

my rx has a measley almost 159,000 on it which is nothing for a 99. I definitely plan on keeping it hopefully past 200,000 or more all depending. Unfortunately though it has become a victim twice now of people running into its rear bumper. Both corners of the rear bumper have had paint taken off which yea sucks. Guess I will just have to mask off the areas and re-spray them. Even if it doesnt look perfect in the end; oh well. Realistically i would just like to get the whole car re-painted professionally but to do that is $$$$$. Which i dont have.

I met a lady at a local Lexus dealer with a 201 RX300 with 485,000 miles still going I ran a 1986 Toyota Cressida to 529,000 using all Mobil one synthetic oil in everything from 20k nothing wore out. guy was just on the news where Toyota gave him a 2016 pickup for his 2007 I did say 2007 with just over a million miles. He drove all the around the south clocking over a 100,000 miles per year using regular oil. Toyota wanted to see how he did it Mobil ran a 1990 325 BMW on rollers for over 1million miles and when they tore down parts of the motor were very close to new you can look it up on Mobile one 1 million challenge. There are 2 Lexus LS400's in So Cal with close to 1 million miles going strong from what I have heard. There is a guy in New York with a 1962 Volvo 3.2 million miles has been on the news a few time go figure. I just sold a 1991 Lexus LS400 with close to 350,000 mile running like new again all synthetic oil in everything nothing wore out.

I've got around 230k on my 2003. The only major repair i've had to do is the transmission went out about a year ago.
Other than that, just regular oil changes, and filter changes. Last changed spark plugs and timing belt at 100k, so probably need to do that, and i'm still using the original water pump!
