Sold with a third of a million miles....
My baby drove off today with a new owner. 333640 miles.
Here are the sale pictures:

Does it look like it has more than a 1/3 of a million miles?
I instantly regretted. I kept hoping over the next few hours that the guy would call back and say that he doesn't want it for whatever stupid reason. No such luck. He only called to tell me he loves the car.

Yes, leatherseats.com. The leather held up pretty good but the finish had started to flake in several areas and was starting to look worn.
I used SEM Paints (SEM15143) Color Coat - Sandstone Aerosol and resprayed the seats. I removed them from the car and masked them off up to just the leather. So the vinyl portions of the cover and the trim were all covered. The finish is almost a perfect match and really made the seats look almost new again. I drove around for several weeks with no sign of the finish coming off. It was tacky for about a week and then became slippery and shiny like the original finish.
Part of the exterior have been repainted. About half the car total. Top, hood (rock chip damage) the right fender and right door. All other paint original.
I sold it for too low. I put it up for $2500 and got about 30 emails in the first few hours. I promptly took the add down and reposted it for $3400 (dealer trade-in). I still got emails, about 10 the next day, but the pace was much slower. Still, the first person to actually look at it wanted it and they'd remembered seeing the add for $2500, so that's what I let it go for.

Amazing! 330k is a lot of miles, but I have seen many Lexus vehicles with that or more. Record I saw on original everything was (ArmyOfOne) Josh's dad's LS430. Over 600k on original everything (except bushings and a fuel pump I think) Lexus is truly amazing,.
