Re-reading that I chuckle. Wasn't till December of '15 that ours hit the 200K mark.

218K here. Just had the timing belt and water pump done, plus a full tune up. Should be another 100K before it's next major maintenance interval.

Gratz. My 94 had 135K when I sold it to a friend. He put close to 300K on it before he sold it.

WELL, sure enough, I sold my black 99 and kept my wifes white 99.... it now has almost 200k and runs and drives as good as it did when I bought it in 2010..plus is quite as a mouse going down the road... I just replaced my two idler pulleys that were giving me a slight hum 0 to 30ish... tiny bit left so I am thinking fan bracket, but it gave no looseness or noise when we replaced the pulleys.. I put the 17 inch wheels on it when I sold the black..
(ps) I had the bad fence post replaced and the fence stands straight now..

Wow!! That's a lot of miserable miles in a really slow and ugly van. Did you use for a business or do deliveries with it or something?

I'm always impressed with how well these old 90's/early 00's Lexuses hold together. I valet park cars one or two days a week for some supplimental income, still get a few Lexuses of this vintage. I've never seen a Rover, Jaguar, or Audi more than 10 years old. When you do see the rare Benz or BMW that's more than 10 years old the interiors are falling apart and every warning light on the dash is lit up.

1990 LS here, 198k miles so I will hit 200k in about a month or two... but it will easily do another 200k. Not a single issue (except that starter spins a little slow sometimes, so I plan or replacing that, and all things related to it). Oh, and my seat memory is bust, so have to manually adjust the seats, but I imagine it is just a leaking cap somewhere in the seat memory module.
