Default Most Miles on a GS?

I was wonder what is the most miles someone has or has seen on a still running GS? (preferbly 1998 and after)

Were there any problems with it at that mileage?

Some while ago I saw in a newspaper ad a 1998 blue GS300 with 140,000 miles (can't remember the price but obviously affordable). Everything in excellent condition, at least from what the ad says...

I had 117,000 trouble free miles on the hardest driven GS on CL. Before the wreck. And I walked out. The freaking car is strong like no other.

Just hit 329000 km today.
Car is now starting to feel of age. Main problem so far blew up the tranny last summer, Now my steering rack has to be replaced. I think it's almost time to start looking for a used M5.

GS's as stated above are supposed to be beasts in the longrun.... What am I saying, all lexus's are. I remember a post a while back about some dealer have a 91'ish ls400 with 600k on the original motor and still running.



I got you all beat, 37k on a 98 GS3

That's about 203K miles. Has the car been driven pretty hard? (It's ok, you can tell us, hehe ) Many torque brake starts? If my car gets to 200K and then needs a tranny I'll still be happy.

Sheesh, I don't know if I'll even have my car for another 3 years and at that time, I'll probably only be at around 105K miles on my 98 GS400.

Then, I'll probably go for the Hybrid Lexus RX. I think I heard on ESPN2's car show special that it's gonna be the RX400. Is that right? Man, you can't beat 630 miles on a full tank of gas....

Cool most miles...

i hate to say it, but my cousins car, a 1990 LS400, has 240k miles on it... and he doesnt really take good care of his car. i know it needs a power steering pump, but the engine is still soooooo quiet and the tranny still runs like new (both original).
