Default How many km's / miles?

I am still trying to sell my car (a Volvo ) and trying to get myself back into a Lexus. I know that these cars are reliable as all else, however I am a bit concerned with it having done as many km's as it has.

The car looks pristine and has full logs etc. but has done 225000km's (that's about 140000 miles). That works out to the car doing 500km's a week which is a lot for some people, however I do about 550 every week and a half, so not that much difference.

I have owned 4 SC's before hand and know that looking after them they go and go and go. How good are the 2JZ-GE's (the GS300) at this sort of mileage? I expect most of the k's for this car is due to mostly country driving.

Here's the link to the car on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1999-Lexus-GS...QQcmdZViewItem. Looking at the condition of it would suggest that it is mostly country driving.
