Yes or no. Toyota doesn't count it must be a Lexus. If you are a previous Lexus owner let us know the story behind that.

Here's mine a car I rarely drive currently at 42,000 miles.

Our first Lexus was a 2007 ES350. Sold it to daughter’s BF at about 210K miles.I maintained it for him until the tranny went out at 305K. He liked it so much he replaced it with a 2008 model with about 80K miles. I still maintain it for him.

We now have a 2018 RX350 AWD. About to do an ATF flush and replace the plugs. It is coming up on 65K.

My sister had a 2015 NX200t. She traded it in last year for a NX300t. Not sure what year it is. I maintain it for her.

Yep, still own my 2003 ES300, ~220k miles. I always say I got my moneys worth out of this car.



My Dad had a 98 LS400 and an 04 LS430, I had that ES300, a 2010 ES350, a 2013 GS350, 2015 LS460 and 2017 LS460L

We have proudly owned four.
The beast that started our love and admiration for Lexus vehicles was a 97 LS400. We put many miles on it and loved it. Our daughter needed a reliable car, so we gave her the 400. Then the search began for a replacement. Found a low mileage 06 LS430 ML. Couldn't pass it up. Over time, I found that I disliked the styling and color, even though the car was great mechanicaly. Found a 2015 460 in Starfire Pearl and had to have it. Only had 32K on the clock. It's a keeper! Love the styling, and the color. Last year she was joined by a 25 LC500 coupe. This car is awesome. That's my story!
