2005 bought new has 52000 and only problem was at 49500 was right side mirror motor was not working left to right but it worked up and down. It was under warranty (barely). But so far so good and would buy a 2008 if my wife lets me pull the trigger.

'01 UL has 78K on it. Bad front wheel bearing, blown sub, O2 sensor and a dang rock hit the Laser Cruise Unit and it is toast! I bouhgt an Lexus ESA when I bought it last year with 58k on it. All covered under the ESA except Laser System. I think it is > $2k to replace. So, trying to figure out how to deactivate it. Other than that, what a great ride!!

White 2003 LS purchased new, now with just shy of 60,000 miles. Still on original brakes and original tires (summer and winter sets). Only thing other than regular maint. was trunk struts that the dealer replaced under warranty. Best car I've ever owned.
