I had 293K on my first RX.

On my RX330 I now have 219k and counting.
Replaced: starter. Timing belt. Plenum valve assembly, o2's, cv axles (nightmare job), plugs, etc. I plan on driving it until about 250 then getting the 350 or a lower mileage 330.

Problem is I have Navi, dynamic cruise control, premium wheels, tow package, etc and it is very hard to find those options on the same vehicle combined.

Fwiw I took top half off engine off replacing intake manifold gaskets and top end looked very clean at about 180K miles.

I'm not buying 500 K. Even an 04 would have to have over 50K A YEAR to reach that. That's 136 miles EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR 10 YEARS. Including holidays.

It's not unheard of.

There is a owner of a 2007 Yaris who put on 400k miles in only 3 & 1/2 years (2010). Another man had over 500,000 miles on his 2007 Corolla in 2011.

I have a little over 150,000 miles on mine, and I will be driving it until the wheels fall off. I am in the process of changing my interior leather in the next couple of weeks.

Are you having someone re-upholster it or are you buying new seat skins?

When I was looking to buy recently I saw many 300s with well over 200k miles. I saw several 330s with real close to 200k. I personally drove 2 330s that had over 170k. Both drove very well. Both had mysteries for service history so I passed. I think these vehicles are good for 250,000, 300,000 beyond with proper maintenance .

Default 330,000 miles and still going strong on our '04 RX330

We have had very little work done outside of regular maintenance and we are still running strong at 330,000. Most of these are trip miles. The vehicle has driven to 48 states, many provinces, pulled a camper, carried everything we have asked, including hockey gear regularly, tooled around some Jeep trails near Moab and gotten us everywhere we wanted. We broke down and bought a GX for the third seat, but ReX is still driven daily I have no reservations driving it, even in a blizzard.

WOW! please share some pictures... curious to see how well the car holds up aesthetically after seeing 330k or road use, bugs, dust/sand, stone chips.

We'd all like to see images of it!
---------------------------------------------------

The most i've actually seen [none of this, i heard through my cousin's, uncle's goldfish business...] was 260k KM's, was for sale recently in form of an 04 RX330 AWD (Full Load less air susp.) for 9k. Would've made a cool winter beater!
