put my supercharger on at 80k and just broke 100k two weeks ago - no problems since the s/c install. fwiw, my dad has a 95 sc400 with over 250k miles - again, no serious issues (think he replaced the power steering a few months ago)

2000 gs400, 39k miles....no mechanical issues
I have as of now, a clunking front end (thinking its strut mounts) and a squeaking creaking (should be attributed to the loose/broken lower ball joints)
I bought this used, and it came from Brooklyn-where some of the worst streets make residence. Since I bought it soo cheap ($8k under book), I don't have any issues throwing a couple grand into it to make her top notch again.

2000 GS400 at 22K
Still running strong!
FutureGS400, you're mileage is lower than mine! I always get laughed at by my family and friends for having such low mileage on my car. Over the past year I've been driving it more and more often. On average I drive it 2x a week to work and on the weekends for any errands I need to do. Most of the low mileage is probably attributed to the fact that I don't drive it in the rain...so during the winter it stays idle most of the time. It's a good thing I live in Cali otherwise my mileage might be 10K or something.

No, it was less than 1k miles (around 800 miles or so I forget exactly). Long story, basically the car was owned by a multi-millionaire with way too many "toys". This car was virtually never driven (garaged and pampered though). Believe me, I checked it out thoroughly! I bought it in Nov. of '03.

LOL! Yeah, Todd was amazed at the mileage when I first came in to get the coilovers etc at around 1,500 miles or so!
Definitely one of those "once in a lifetime" finds...I paid dearly for it, but it was basically new so I didn't mind at all.

207K already on a 6 or 7 year old car! Man, where do you drive?
I know this is about the GS but I'll add that I have 192K on my '93 SC.
Yes, it pretty much runs like new. I drive it and still can't believe it!
