Default 250,000 Miles

I just hit 250,000 miles on my 2001 LS430. Keeping up with preventative maintenance makes all the difference in the world.

Averaging 25K a year is a good clip. That's about what I do, but divided between multiple cars.

Drug run !


I do about 7K a year. I rely mostly on public transportation to get to work. I only have 82K miles on my 2001 LS. Good to know that I can get it to 250K

250k in a LS is nothing

Excellent! I just went over 132K in my 2001, with the only issue being a LEFT FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING #2, which my local private Lexus mechanic fixed for $150 parts and labor. I keep thinking about getting a new car, but this car looks and rides like new, so I can't justify it. I would be spending more and trading down.

I just had all the fluids changed and the car got an A+ grade, so my next goal is 200K.

Let us know when you hit 300K.

The LS430 is a "forever" car.

It is in perfect condition, almost like new. Everyone is always surprised when they find out the mileage.
