10 Great Toyotas That Could Have Been Lexus Models

I got mine at 132k and I swear it just came off the showroom floor. Motor needed head gaskets at 130k but other than that just oil and regular maint. Motor runs Top and even all the ball joints and tie rods still looked pretty good but I changed them anyway. I cleaned up everything just before I go turbo

105k on my 04. Have done all maint by the book and my motor doesn't burn or leak anything. It is still quiet and smooth and runs stronger than ever. I don't think this car will ever leave my garage as I trust it more than newer Lexus's.

im at 135k i use nothing but Royal Purple 5w30 and Royal Purple filter every 5k. And god forbid anything but Chevron or Shell Premium fuel ever touches my car. BTW NEVER EVER EVER use fuel/oil additives they ruin your pumps/injectors (this comming from my buddy who rebuilds injectors for a living, 20+ years experience)
-for the record my previous Nissan Sentra had 260k before i decided i needed a better car and bought the IS300 and ran like a champ-
