Default 97,000 mile LS500

This is the highest mileage LS500 I have found.
3 owner, 1 accident CA car. CarFax looks good, no unusual problems.
We meticulous owners should expect typical Lexus reliability.

Carfax with an accident isn't looking good.

There is a picture, left rear corner, mostly bumper cover.

I was more interested in maintenance and repairs on a near 100,000 mile car.
I’m not interested in buying it. I already have two LSs. If I had three the neighbors might talk.

Here's car fax for one with 130K miles on the clock and no accidents.

They asking $31K for it with clean car fax.

Bought at auction, the lowest of the low.

You want honest advise or you want hot air? Auction is the LAST place that cars go to be sold because no one else wants them.

Just had my 2018 AWD in for 110k service. Still no major issues whatsoever. Routine oil changes and tires and drivers side top bladder on messager has a leak, but still works well and comforting on long drives. Passenger and rear seat massagers fully functional. Dealer quoted $1300 to repair bladder. Not that important to me and one leak does not bother me. Knock on wood.

Agreed!
That's why I too have been studying high mileage LS500's as mine is at 75K miles and debating when to do the plugs which I have in hand but still running like day 1 since I bought it.
Agreed this is very encouraging as well.
Many of these over 100K mi don't so evidence of plugs being done without any major issues or service being conducted including the one below with 129K miles on it.
