17 4cy turbo with 25k as of 2/22/19.
boost vacuum valve replaced st 20k
other then that the typical crap soft suspension that throws out your alignment and east tires. Rear tires were shot in 8k, replace Front LCA bushing to RCF ones and it seems to be working so far.

So far since owning my car I had the following replaced:

- rear strut due to leaking
- radio unit due to the constant navigation restart
- heated driver seat
- front inner differential seal was leaking
- RR USRS to solve inner tire wear

Besides the navigation issue, I believe a lot of those other issues were random or wear and tear items. Even at 63k car still handles and pulls like no other.

"cracking leather" - yikes. Any idea on what caused that? I have just started cleaining mine every so often with leather cleaner and conditioner, want to make sure I'm not about to ruin mine.

No idea whatsoever. They replaced it for me, no cost, but it had cracked in areas that you normally wouldn’t hold the wheel. 11, 1, 6, 9, and 3 o’clock positions, the 9 and 3 were in the bottom backside portions of the spokes. Couldn’t tell ya exactly what caused the issue aside from being a defective wheel. They originally tried to say it was “ring marks” but the unusual spots couldn’t be explained with that reasoning. I have noticed though my current wheel has micro fissures in it as well, I will continue to condition it as usual. Filed another complaint with dealer so that it’s on record as well, just in case.

Showing lines / wear, or cracking as it damaged?

I've been impressed with how well my black Nulux were and are still holding up. I don't plow my way in and out of the seat but other than that I haven't given them much attention, yet.

It's cracked, and small bits have came off. I got the car at 56k miles, so I'm unsure of the first owner. I noticed the lines pretty early on in my ownership and would try not to stress the side bolstering. Nonetheless, that task has become even more challenging after I bagged the car. Otherwise no real issues that has affected it's reliability as a car

Not to flaunt but I am a Service Manager for a Nissan dealership, the car gets taken care of fairly well. I'm sure that helps to some degree, but you are correct. I bought Lexus because I know I put the miles on the car, I don't want something nickel and diming me the entire time.
