375000 on my 1990 LS and 269000 on my 1991 LS. Both in excellent shape. All electronics work flawlessly. Ride and handle as good as new.

I have had three LS's
1992 - 360,000
1994 - 240,000
1990 - 420,000
All running strong with no problems, except 1990 has the original air suspension and something is clunking and the steering wheel shakes over bumps, any ideas.

Lemon, that's impressive longevity indeed; especially considering the added penalty that Michigan winters impose. Regarding the shaking steering wheel over bumps on the 1990 LS, I would look into the status of the control arm bushings, particularly the lower ones in front. At that mileage, you are long overdue for replacement in view of the fact that the stock ones are hard rubber and not polyurethane. Rubber provides a better ride (less harshness, road noise and vibration than polyurethane) but is far more susceptible to wear and deterioration with cyclic changes in temperature and the effect of road salt. If you dont want to change the whole control arm but still want the "Lexus" ride, look into the replacement rubber bushing sold by Vlamos from Australia. You can do a search on here or just Google it.

Those "vlamos" bushings are ridiculously expensive. They're even more expensive than complete new Lexus lower control arms.

I've got 203K on my 94, and I'm adding to it at a pretty stead pace.

That's awesome, 420K miles!

I have a friend that's a tech at Lexus and he mentioned that he can remember quite a few cars he worked on that had 400K and over. Most of them just happened to be LS'
