Default Anyone have a high mileage RC F? Reliability Anecdotes

Wondering if anyone has a high mileage RC F? I'm wondering about the problems these cars run into at higher mileages. My last last car was a 2008 IS F which I drove to 150Kish miles before selling, essentially with no issues. Currently thinking about getting a RC F.

The highest is in the 50K mile range from what I have seen. Mine is still at only 10k mile with absolutely zero issues. Not even some minor niggles like odd rattle or anything. Mine was built in October of 2015 so it was one of the last 2015 and Lexus had worked out the quirks by then.

There was someone on the Facebook page who broke 100k two months ago or so without any reliability issues.

I'm at 42k miles and nothing wrong so far. I am rough on all my vehicles including my RCF. I around 500 miles a week on it.

Only 25k on my 2015 RCF hoping to keep the car for a long time. Will force myself to drive my “more boring” 2015 GS350 AWD (which also has 25k) to help reduce annual mileage on my RCF. That was my original plan but just love driving my RCF so much more...haha. Like everyone said and my number one factor for choosing this car was it is a Lexus (Toyota) which means top reliability

63k miles.

Just keep the oil changed and don't run on bald tires.

55k still solid like a rock. Zero issues. Huge difference to my experience with my former AMG, that POS was always in the shop one thing after another.

I'm at 58k on my '16 and no major issues yet. Besides the fuel pumps, which I've still got to get changed.

Currently sitting at 115,800 miles no major issues, I have done all major services at the dealership (60k and 100k mile service are the expensive ones), I tried to do rest of the maintenance at a mechanic I trust and some other work I’ve done myself. I have taken the car to the track and drag strip several times and done a few mods. I had an exhaust installed when the car reached 25k miles, headers and RR racing tune at 65k miles, two piece lightweight rotors and coilovers at 70k miles. I’ve gone through 7 sets of tires. Overall the experience of owning this car has been exceptional.

Mine is one of the early 2015s, 2014 manufacturing date, what quirks should I keep an eye out for?
