My 2013 ES300h gas about 55,000 miles on it. I purchased it new in January 2013. That would make my average about 8,000 miles a year. My 2015 ES350 has about 10,000 miles on it, that one sits in the garage most of the time.

That's impressive. I have 147,000 miles right now and drive around 36K miles per year. My Wife's RX350 averages about 10K miles per year, and my RX-7 averages around 3000 miles per year.

I can only imagine how much by behind and back would hurt if I drove 36k miles a year. Not to mention my wallet.

My 2013 ES350 has 21k miles. I put about 13-14k on the first year. I now commute to work via the train, which is why I've been averaging just slightly more than 1k/yr for the past 6 years. I think I only bought gas once last year.

I've been wondering that myself lately. Was toying with the idea of getting rid of it and getting something fun to drive.

Bought new 2014 ES and just under 90K now. So that's about 15K/year. I drive it to work and back. My wife and I use it whenever "we" drive. I bought it for road trips (mid-life crisis car!) so up and down all of I-35 (and I do mean ALL).

Bought my '14 ES 350 new 6 years ago when I retired and it now has 72k miles on it. I live in the midwest and virtually all trips are annual visits to family on both coasts and to Arizona in the winter. Never had a single car problem and it still averages over 30 mpg on these trips. At last count it has been in 24 of the 50 states.

My commute is about 86 miles each way. Love the comfort of the ES, reliability, and MPG. Had an accord years ago that hurt my back on the drive. I typically drive my cars until they reach between 225k-275k miles. Very few repairs on the several ES models that I have owned.

Yup 225-275k is easy for a lexus my last one was 225k by the time i started to have to replace parts like cooling fan motors and that
i plan on 2-3 years more with my 2016 before its time to upgrade again to a 2018-2019 in 2 years most liekly and ill have about 250k and i know that i wont have any problem getting there on this 2016 ES300h


Every time i drop a client off and i see a vehicle like a BMW . Range Rover , any german or baverian or british car preatty much i always ask would you do it again they ask what i said buy another one when its time to trad that in and id say half the time they reply with noooooooooooo!!!! lol
