Default How many miles on your LS500?

My 2018 LS500 just hit the 100K mile milestone today and I’m happy to report no major issues thus far.

All maintenance is up to date, with the most recent work being coolant flushes for both the radiator and the intercooler for the turbos.

What I love most about this car is how it turns driving into an experience. A couple times a week I take a 75-mile highway trek each way to pursue a hobby, and every time it reminds me why I bought it. Massage seats on, Mark Levinson playing, LTA and Dynamic Radar Cruise engaged, it’s effortlessly smooth and quiet.

Honestly, it’s become a Zen like, almost therapeutic experience for me. The car just melts away the miles.

Curious to hear from others, how many miles are on your LS500, what do love most about it and how’s it been treating you?

Mine hit 62,000 miles yesterday. It’s a Lexus Certified car that is strictly maintained at a Lexus dealer.
Only problem I have had was a leaky water pump at 38,000 miles which of course covered by warranty.
Only real complaint I have had was the run-flat tires which I replaced with Bridgestone Quiettracks.
i’m doing oil and filter changes at 6 mos. and 5,000 miles.
it’s an attention getter in this small town in The Ozarks.

10,428 miles on my 2023. I love everything thing about it except the run flats, which I hope to rectify in the future. Whether it’s two miles or 200, I’m in heaven!

There hasn’t been much action on this forum as of late.
LS500 owners must be in a deep funk due to the end of production of such a fine car.
