300,000
I just turned 150,000 miles after 10 years of ownership (purchased with 98,000 miles) Welcome to the site. You will find a wealth of info here as well as very friendly informative members.Many owners are aware of the ability of our cars to reach astronomical mileage.
Congrats! Great to hear! Nice achievement! Keep going.
There is conjecture that a LS430 is a 300k car without too much difficulty, and 200k all day long (I would think so although I am only at 125k). the limitation is having the "time" on the road to actually get there. The nissan thread years ago was funny (1995-1999 cars), where people were saying, "Whoa!" As people emerged and posted their mileage. One was 576k that blew everybody away--since it was a 1997 car, the odometer stopped at that number [went to digital in 1998].
I enjoyed coming across the 500k Acuras as I was googling my mom's car on maintenance. As pointed out, seems like taking care of things brings longevity, like with the AMGs and M5s that are over 400k.
Maybe the 300k+ folks will emerge through this thread!

I'm happily piling the miles on to the LS. I bought mine in late 2018, i got my hot little paws on it in Jan of 2019, Was at 103 when purchased, I'm at 140 now, the Covid thing has really cut back my travel of course. Would be up around 160 otherwise.
Heck my Prius made it to 327 K, tho thianks to the 2010 Prius oil consumption issue it took two engines to do that.
No major issues with my 05 LS430 UL. I do have the factory 18" chrome wheels. These were actually chromed in Japan most are cheapo jobs done by dealers.
Have developed a couple rim leaks, I'm trying slime for now and monitoring the air pressure more closely.
I did have to do the front wheels bearings, not a fun job. Otherwise the previous owner did all the 2nd 100K stuff for me. New tires, all new brakes, and a new T belt installed just before I purchased the car.
Ordered new plugs and filters from Rock auto. I'll bring it to the stealership for a trans and differential fluid replacement soon.
I plan on 300+ from this one too!
