Does the early ES300 (92-94) have the same seemingly infinite life expectancy as the early LS400?

Should I expect an early ES300 with 120,000 miles to make it to 200,000 miles with little more than tune ups, timing belts and water pumps?

Thanks in advance,
Sixto Orosa
... wondering how long my 91 300SE will last

Default ES longevity

Whats up tabijan I have a 92 ES with over 177,000 miles and she runs great when I got her she had 136,000 miles and I have only had to do regular matinence to it so far , change the oil, trans service etc. the only big thing I had to do was change the struts only because the previous owner didn't change them ever! Struts should always be checked after 20,000 miles of use the struts take the most abuse and wear faster than any other part, I have nothing but good things to say about my ES very impressed by Lexus quality and I think my car will survive 200,000 miles very well. -lobo-

Default yes

I have a 1994 ES300 with about 145k on it. I have not had it for long, but it runs super smooth. There is a sticker under the hood that says the timing belt was changed at 98k (whew, saves me the trouble).

I cant complain about anything though. Even the interior looks great.

'93 took over 300,000 miles then just died last week because of the radiator.

I am pretty sure all Lexus cars lasts if your take car of it.
I have 135,000 on my LS,but it is quiter than some new american cars.I recently had a tune up and the mechanic says he has worked on some LS's with 370,000 with origninal parts and one time someone's friend said that his LS had 500,000 miles and this not a typo 500,000,but i have not heard of any ES going that long,but i am pretty sure they can,if you take care of it.
