Default 397k miles on a Lexus

I know its not an LS430 but I have to post this. A friend of mine took me out to lunch recently. He drove and picked me up in his 1996 ES300 - which has 397k miles on it! With no major engine work ever..just tune ups, oil changes, brakes and 2 timing belts to date!. Interior is a little worn and faded but still looks pretty good..no rips, tears, cracks etc. . Paint on the outside of the car is still relatively shiny. Just a remarkable testament to Lexus quality.

That's awesome. I swap cars so often that the only way I'd have a car with that many miles on it is if I bought it with 390K on the odo.

That's nothing. I was just reading about a guy in a magazine that has 750k miles on his early 90's LS400. He says he is going to 1 million miles with the factory engine and transmission.
