Who has the most? :p

I have my 15,000 mile service tomorrow morning.

I have almost 59K on my '99 GS, purchased in Dec. of '98. Geez, time really does fly!

I just broke the 122,000 mile barrier tonight on my '96 ES. Regular DIY service and maintenance is the key to longevity. I'm planning to change the oil and throw in new front tires this weekend.

1992 ES 300 198,000
1998 GS 400 96,000

My baby was running strong at 102,900 miles when I totaled her. Never missed a lick. But if things go well, the next one in my garage will be sitting there with 60k on the clock.:D

1993 SC400 96k, running strong

GA400

steviej

I have 78,000 on my 2000 GS400 no probs at all.

Ihave 133,423 on my 92 3423miles on it in 2 1/2 years of ownership.:D

I have a 99 Gs 300 and I have ummm 20,100. I just brought the car in March 2002. It had only 9,878 miles on it. So I got a steal on mileage.

200k on sc400

Still running strong so far so good. Engine is dry

I have 205,000 on my 1992 SC400
3,200 on my 2003 GS430

80k on my 92 SC300

got my car in June of year 2000, and it only has about 23,000 miles. ;)

I got a 2002 and had it since September and only got about 5K miles on it.

1995 SC400 148,000
2002 SC430 4,500:thumbup:

just broke into 100k like a week ago...........I didn't even see it change:egads:

I'm a bit over 130,000 on my 1991 LS400.
Earl!

I have 90,500 on my 95 SC300

148000 94 sc4

94 LS400 127 KMiles

Used bought when 56 KMiles in 98.

-Change Oil Every 3 Months. Do it yourself (around Every 3K Miles Oil Filter every 6K).
-Change Transmission Oil Every 30K Miles. Do it yourself .
-Replaced all front and rear brake pads at 81K (one rotor on the rear driver side pad went out but lazy to take care right away and paid the extra cost). Do it yourself.
-Tires Changed at 91K use Pepboy Futura SE 2000, already ran for 37K and expected for 20K more on tires.
-Aligment at Pepboy while changing tires. No sign problem with tires so the aligment should be okay with Pepboy.

Major problem: Power Steering leaks caused Alternator went bad. So the following had done at the same time 125K (Do it yourself).

-Power Steering Leaks at 115K (Big bold between Hose and Power Steering Pump), bought Rebuild PS kit to rebuild at 125K miles. I should taking care of this problem earlier so this will not cost time and money to replace Alternator below. While doing the rebuild I think the power steering fluid run really hot that cause all of the seals became harder and easy to crack. Perhaps add on a Power Steering cooler might help to extend the life of Power Steering and other related components.

-Power Steering Leak drip Oil on top of Alternator caused Alternator went bad in middle of busy street, car being pushed to the side. Bought a Rebuild Alternator from the local Special Starter Alternator shop for $100 or 125.00 Lexus charge for $550 to $850 part only, depend on the late or early 94 LS400.

-Since the car has major works above; why not replace timing bell at the same time (dealer charge $450 for timing bell replacement. I think it's good price unless hidden cost etc...). Timing bell is still look very good but better Safe then Sorry!!!

-Well, since timing bell being replaced, why not replace Front Seal, Water Pump, Rotor, Cap, Spark Plugs, Differential Oil, Clean Transmission Filter etc..

Total cost for part about $500.00, Plus Pay the shop $100. (My brother's friend has a Body shop, that has lift available, so he let me use it. I paid him $200 but ,he insisted not to take money from me. Finally, we settled for $100). Nice Guy Thank You Sam.

Everything went fine, Except I got the wrong spark plug because, I bought spark plug at local Kragen store and they don't carry the Nippon Denso, I took the cross reference one. The cross reference one causing me engine misfire (not so sure the cross reference causing problem or cross eyes causing me wrong spark plug that end up with engine misfire??? :o :o :o).

I think with the problem above could cost me about $4500.00 but, luckily, problem occurred right at the time my Company force to take vacation; so 3 of my 10 days vacation were under the car lift.

Thank you all for helping me with Engine Misfire problem and I am Sorry for my English even though I tried very hard to write.

1991 Ls400 had 187K + when I sold it.

1991 LS400 had 293K + when I gave it to my step mother last year. It probably has 293,005 miles now. :D

Never had a Mercedes last that long.

Sold my 98 LS400 after putting 40K miles in exactly 1 year it had 130K (brand new car)

Well...this Lexus isn't mine, but it is in the family...

My Mom's 1990 LS400 has 301,000 miles on it.

It's required a new fuel pump, new water pump, some AC work, a rebuilt climate control panel (lighting issues), some bushings, rotating parts lubing, new rotors, lots of tires and brake bads, and lots and lots of oil changes (my father shoots for every 5000 miles).
It still starts immediately and drives just like it did when they bought it in 1993 with 30,000 miles on it.
Best $30k they've every spent...except maybe my college tuition. ;)

huh, i'm gonna keep track of my mileage here. 6-3-04 have 15,804miles

wait, so u have 2 1991 Ls400s or did u sell ur Ls400 to ur step mom?

I had an LS400 sold it and bought a mercedes, my dad annexed the mercedes and gave me his Ls400 in return I waited another year and gave the LS400 to my step mom and bought another LS400 (98 W/nAVIGATION, hid, etc) sold the 98 with 130K and bought a GS4.

But the 293K miles was almost 2 years ago now, so I think I still hold the record :D

93 sc400 136,000 miles...got it in october 2002..with 87,000 miles...I drive!

35k miles on the SC 18 months
19k miles on the RX in 10 months

so I drove 54k miles in the last 18 months

I'm catching up to some of you guys... i'm at 36k miles per year as it stands now.

i just hit 140,000 today!

CEO

275,746 miles. eeek :eek2:

new engine yet? nah i can get it to 400,000 hopefully :)

145,000 miles and still running strong...:thumbup: oil change every 3K miles..

my 1992 SC400 has 220,000 miles. I had it since 93

1990 Lexus ES250: 140,479 miles as of tonite
1995 Ford Contour GL: 384,990 miles as of 8/16/2004 at 2:47pm.

144k on a 97es3, runs amazingly!!

154.234 mile and still srtong. 96 GS300

about 83k...

Dads SC 400 has 238k
My ES just hit 208k
Mothers RX is 112k
My GS before being wrecked had 117k
Other Lexus mileage is negligable. These cars are built to last.

Dads GS has 70,000Kms...about 40,000miles

My GS has 110000Kms......about 70000miles

I met this one guy at a Lexus dealership near Toronto and his 1990 LS had 500,000kms.....thats over 300,000miles and the amzing part was he's never had a repair before other than regular maintenance, and wear/tear items. Even his rad and exhaust was factory installed. Oh yeah, he did have his first problem (that's why he was at the dealership)..computer trouble.

Well, my 1990 has 217,000 miles on it. It left me stranded last night. I think the fuel pump when out, becaue I was going up a hill, with a half tank of gas and the car began to surge, then died. Never to be started again.

I do my maintenance on my baby. I have recently (5,000 miles or less) done the following:

Starter
Alternator
Radiator
Brakes with siezed calipers
A/C compressor
Upper A-arm bushings and 4-wheel alignment
Thermostat
Door lock actuator ($700.00- the actuator when out with the door closed and me inside)
Fan clutch
Fan bracket
Some other things I'm sure I'm forgetting...

I have also replaced the leather interior with a leather kit from Katzkin.com. Not bad. Definitely have a professional install because the kit required some modifactions to fit perfect.

At 217,000 miles the car still looks new inside, rides awesome, and when it runs... it runs excellent.

I'm wondering if my car is going to be a maintenace big here on out...

105k on SC
103k on RX

1xx,xxx miles and about 52k on the motor :)

92 sc400 with 72,600 i plan to keep this car forever

about to hit 104K on my 99 GS400, car runs and drives like it is new, I have just decided to keep it instead of sell it, I want to see it roll over 200K. When it rolled over 100, I took a pic with my cell. such a moment.... :rolleyes:

less than one hundered miles away from 100k... :(

99 GS4, 88800 km on it, or about 55k miles.

Over 239K miles on my 1996 ES 300
Over 88K miles on my 1996 GS 300
Over 95K miles on my 1998 SC 400

My 1992 SC400 bought new in '92 now has 339,500 miles on the odometer. Actual mileage is a little more than that because I drove the car for a total of 3 weeks or so with out the instrument gauges while Lextech Lighting was installing LEDs and repairing the needles. Still has the original exhaust system, radiator, A/C blows ice cold, replaced the lower control arm bushings in front, engine and tranny mounts, power steering rack bushings replaced, lots of tires and brakes, no major engine work. Probably needs another water pump/timing belt job, I can't remember the last time I had that done(maybe 200,000 miles ago?) Drivers seat needs new upolstery (leather is cracked). Still runs great.

That's music to my ears man...I can't wait to hit over the 300K mark...
I'm sittin pretty on 288,000 miles right now....

Just replaced it's third Alternator, second power steering pump, and first windshield 3 weeks ago.....and passed smog today in every category....
It does not consume one drop of oil and I still use regular 5w-30....no leaks at this time and still runs strong. This car has certainly paid for itself over and over already....

95 SC400 RED 109,000, runs as strong as can be, no problems

YES>. i'm holding the crown as the ES300 KING in CL.. :p my baby has 205K althought i still need to change the Y pipe and O2 sensor... and flush the coolen. my girl is still moving and running smooth!!!!! just wondering.. i know this is a stupid question( i ask a lot of that). any one seen any car with a 999,999 on the dash??

198,000 Sc300
183,000 Sc400

98,700mi 98 GS4

100,000 here I come.

People can't beleive how many miles are on it when I tell them... everyone thinks it is brand new.

:cool:

95 GS3 - 164k

1993 Es300 139k

I got 150k on my 92 SC300. Nothings really broken...i've just done quick tune ups/fixes.

I had a 1992 LS400 that has 165K miles on it before i wrecked it. I must say, even with 165 K miles, that car still ran like a beast. It was just as smooth and powerful as the first day i bought it. 100 K miles is considered barely broken in.

;) :) :D :p (not mine, I just have "what's left" of the guy's car.) (the cluster)

SCHundo, you're kidding right? Don't you know, OLT's business is refabbing old burned-out Lexus clusters and installing new LED's to return them to better than new condition. He has many color options available. Check out his website, LexTech Lighting.

'91 LS400 at 216,000 Now on second timing belt and water pump and leaking again. Rear main seal leaking too. Otherwise original.

If you look at the poll results above, you'll see that 31 respondents have over 200,000 miles. My 1992 SC400 is certainly among the highest with currently 347,300 miles on the clock. (and yes that is miles not kilometers.)

Wow...some impressive numbers here.....bought a 94 GS300 a couple of months ago with 83,500 on it....got about 85,500 on it now....

Did a complete trans flush with new filter and gasket....new Kumho tires....in the middle of an ARX treatment

Hope this baby lasts me in my new career (real estate) ....I would like to buy a SC430 one day...

i thought my car had the most... 94 gs300 with 303,000.

2000 GS4 with 101,000 miles. :woot:

Wow, Hearing that most of you all with over 100K miles and running strong gives me great confidence on keeping my car for another 15+ plus years considering my mileage is very low, I'm afraid I don't have the high mileage as most of you. I ordered my 1999 GS400 and recieved it with 3 miles on it and that I just turn 42K miles. :woohoo:

My 1992 SC 300 Pearl White with newer style spoiler, custom wheels, and gold badging
added just turned 188888 today. Still a nice comforable ride. I've had it 4 yrs. It does need
a timing belt and water pump. But all and all, the most reliable car I have ever owned.
Let's see, This is about my 16th car.

Don

I have 136000m on my 1993 SC300 with no problems at the moment

Proud to say, I'm rolling with 233,986 miles. The only mod I've done is Daizen bushings and Lextech fixed my dead instrument cluster. Believe it or not but the car still gets up past 140mph.

Pleanty of road trips from ATL to Ohio

Purchased my 1992 LS 400 in 1999 with 150,000 miles on it.
Currently at 249,000. Goal is 300,000.

346K miles, 3rd owner. Except for some minor/typical stalling issues that I am claering up, the car runs great and shifts perfectly.

/knocks on wood

225k miles running beautiful til i took the stock 2JZGE out and put in a 1JZGTE.

Didnt burn any oil, ran 10w30, got 23mpg, and still had plenty of power for a 2jzge.

Just hit 79k on the body and 39k on the 1J .

I've only put 2000 miles on my car in the last 8 months....

Just passed 102,000 miles on my 01 GS3.

anyone with sc300s/ls400s have an average mileage or age where a well maintained sc or ls 400 will just fall apart mechanically? I'm thinking of a older lexus sc400 but I've never owned a older car before with higher miles.

Chenge the timing belt/waterpump every 100K, and fix AC and power steering as needed (every~150K miles) and you will easily! get over 300K miles, I speak from experience on 2 LS400's.

I would start looking at models with less than 250,000 personaly. These have gone to 300k+ no prob though.

My highest mileage is 230k on one of my three.

I have over 250,000 miles on my 92 SC400. Stock engine, runs like its brand new. No oil leak, changed every 3000 miles. Beat that yall!!!

I am at 241,000 on my stock '92 SC400. Purchased new, no major problems. Still runs strong and quiet. Best car I have ever owned.

On my 1996 ES 300 I'm over 253,000 miles and I just dropped it off at Crown Lexus this morning to replace my battery for free, well it was still under warranty and now I have a brand new battery and it'll be good for another 24 months, that's how long the warranty is good for. Good job Lexus...

1996? How much was it to get your warranty like that?

I orignially purchased the new battery in July 2004. The warranty is good for 24 months so Crown Lexus was able to replace the battery at no charge yesterday. I picked up my 1996 ES 300 last night and I looked at the battery and it has a Lexus sticker on it and it's good for 84 months or 7 years. I was like Yes!!!!!! My new battery as of yesterday is warrantied until 2013. Way to go Lexus...

I have a little over 122,000 on my 1999 GS400. I used to drive on average of 25,000 a year, but that changed once I started to work near my home. That will soon change in 3 months.

I have a 1991 Lexus ls400, My mileage is 287,753. I am the 3rd owner. So far the only thing it's leaking power steering fuilded. Other than that, it's running Strong!

I just hit 255K miles yesterday on my 1996 ES 300 and I'm going to change the oil later this evening after work. I still have the original engine and transmission. I want to see how many more miles I can put on my car...

258K on my 93 SC400, replaced the TraNNy at 255K

01 GS 74,000+...

Just got her...~6000. Every one of them has been orgasmic!

My DWP 1992 SC 400 (purchased new in '92) has passed 355,000 miles on the original engine and drive train (hell, even the mufflers are still original). I just had the 100,000 mile interval service performed and mounted a new set of tires. In the next week or two I will install the new leather seats I bought as part of the group buy from LeatherSeats. It still runs like new, with the new leather it will look and smell like new too. I think I may still be the high mileage champ. Anybody got more?

Congratulations on hitting 355K miles on your SC 400. That is an awesome milestone. I'm currently at 259K miles on my 1996 ES 300. Lexus cars are so awesome...

What kind of maintaince schle? Type oil/filter? How about transmission service interval and differential service interval? Would love to know this information from someone with this many miles and is the original owner.

Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I have 106,000 on my 99 es300. just purchased it and going smooth so far.

my 96 sc400 has 220,198 miles, mostly highway mainly from when i was living 120miles away from work

Not a Lexus but just about to hit 144,000 on the '98 Neon. She's a trooper!

I intend to drive both for as long as mechanically possible. :D

I hit 300,000 miles on my '96 ES 300. It's crazy. I wanna see how far I can take her. I'm thinking I'm only gonna keep her for another 100,000 miles and by that time I'll upgrade to the latest ES 350...

245,000 as of now. Still runs like a champ:D But needs power steering work badly. New ball joints, timing belt, water pump this year. Still needs cluster and LCD's replaced. My brother and I hit 130mph on I-75 in my LS and he was in his 04' Audi A8. His governor kicked in at about 129mph. I still had more to go;) But I did not want to push it. My old beast was wallowing all over the place:p

ive got 277k on the chassy of my sc300
and 59k on my GS

im @ 233K, i bought the car with 219K in 05 from the second owner. First time i hit the track i think she was at 221K ppl though i was crazy, but i hot lapped 7 runs then drove home :D:thumbup:

I got a 99'GS400 with 133k on her...nothin special but I did crush a 04' 745il on highway I-85 going 140+ on my way ta carolina.. :)

I just finished changing my oil after hitting 340,000 miles (68th oil change) on my 1996 ES 300. I look forward to see how far I can take my ES.

My buddy let me use his oil siphon and it works great. You don't have to unscrew the drain plug and you don't have to get underneath the car. The oil gets sucked out through the oil dipstick holder.

Your not getting all the oil out, let alone the sludge that collects on the bottom of the pan.

Why would you have sludge on the bottom of the pan? Don't you change your oil as recommended?

Actually I change mine more frequently than recomended.
Fact is when you have suck, squish, bang, blow going on at an average of
3k rpm for 200k miles
Thats alot of fuel and carbon getting burned and captured in the oil and being deposited on the surrounding surfaces.
Its going to accumulate somewhere. Pull apart an engine with only 10k miles, its likely you find deposits starting to form already.

That really sucks :D or I guess your saying sucking is bad when it comes to oil from a car. My SL does not even have a drain plug, Mercedes sucks all the oil out of the new ones. Makes more owners return to the dealership for service. But my SL uses syn. oil and is changed once a year or every 12-13K miles based on what the engine determines. With mine that ends up being about every 6K miles. I let the Lexus dealer do changes in my LX every 4-5K miles and they use a semi syn oil that for that mileage and how easy the Lexus 4.7 V8 is on oil is over kill. All the sludge should be held in the oil and not be laying around in the oil pan if it is it doesn't matter if your oil is drained or sucked you have a big problem.

00 GS400 - 128k :p
