02' High mileage
02' ultra lux pkg. w/196k mileage. 3 timing belts, religous 4k oil changes and fluids. Runs like day I picked up from dealer!
Worth every penny. Mechanic said he wouldn't be surprised another 90k to go!

Would any of you 200,000+ mile guys have any qualms about taking a 1,000 mile road trip?

I have a 2004 LS with 201,000 miles. I purchased it in 2008 with 54,000 miles. Getting ready for the major tune up. I finally will replace my water pump. I never replaced it during my first tune up. It's amazing how reliable this car is. My pump still has no leaks.

04 Premium 183k. I replaced a wheel bearing due to 3 years of road construction safety lane grates I drove over as HWY 41 was rebuilt. Otherwise the only out of ordinary repair(tires, brakes etc.) has been a flat tire. It sits a little lower but runs sweet!

Cars don't just fall apart... at least not Lexus'. If anything breaks its because of user neglect it postponement of maintenance. If you have no issues and car runs fine,i would have no 2nd thoughts of taking a 200k Lexus cross country.

2001 standard package -98,000 miles. Not exceptional, but it still is as quiet and smooth as ever. I really do look forward to driving it to work every morning and home every night.
Also found a 2003 gold package with just 27,000 miles. I snapped it up for my wife. Still smells new! She couldn't be happier!
