06' 130k miles... When to sell?
So I have taken pretty decent care of this car. It's still clean and runs well, and besides the usual wear and tear, there's nothing really wrong with it. Having said that, I'm behind on my 90 and 120k services and are planning on getting them completed. My question is, are there any upcoming issues that I should expect as it turns into a higher mileage vehicle? Are there plenty of 200k+ miles is350's out there?
i have no need for a new car though my car buddies (they are rich ****** and update their cars every 50-100k no matter what) say I should get a new car cuz mine is "old". What does the forum say?

There is a recall on the dashes in these cars, so I think you can still get a new one in your car if you need from a local lexus dealer. And if you are calling your car buddies rich ******, then it says that you don't really care to be like them. Just save the money for your next car since your IS still runs, and if you're only using it as a daily and you don't do car shows/track meets, your car can definitely last a long time.

Why would you want a new car if yours works fine for you? It's your money, don't let others tell you how to spend it.

Since it appears all you need to do is preventative stuff, look into some or all of the following :
*Rear diff fluid change
*Trans fluid change
*Coolant change
*Brake fluid change
*Check brake pads and tires
*Check half shaft boots
*Check for water pump leaks
*Check all misc. bushings for abnormal wear
Good luck and enjoy your high-mileage IS350 as I do!

I have a young one at 107K. I do love to drive my 350. I always inspect to make sure I do not miss any tell tall signs of needed attention, like leaks and any other abnormal stuff. My battery is a few years old, but when not in use, I have the Is on a trickle charger, especially winter time.

Who cares what your friends think? Don't worry about what your friends have. Be happy with what ya got!!! You can always update the look of the car with head lights, tail lights, newer front bumper, etc.

I'm at 126k miles (American car which now lives in Canada) and have no issues. Previous owner always serviced at the dealership, so I was surprised to find out none of the recalls had been done yet. I did them about 8 months ago when I bought the car which meant basically full service, new gaskets, fuel rails etc and I've been told to expect nothing less than 200k out of the thing. Thats without a bunch of shiny expensive new motor bits.
