Here is the ODO on my 98 GS400. I had posted it with a side by side photos of my 98 and 06 GS. I will take some more photos tonight. The car has mostly been sitting in my garage since it was used in our local 06 GS Roll Out Event.

Thats a lot of miles, and I believe you havent had any problems with it over the years? I hope to keep my GS for a while and get a new one in a few years and hope to get a lot of miles out of it. Thanks for the hope

All I have ever done is change rotors twice. One coolant sensor. One wheel bearing. Brakes and 7 sets of tires.

My local Lexus dealer has done EVERY service for me. I would come in every 3-4 weeks for my 5K service. I also did every 90K service and whatever else they suggested.

The car still drives as tight as is did when I bought it. The best thing I ever did was put Bridgestone Turanza LSZ Tires on. This is my 3rd set and I fought front end shimmy at highway speeds and braking for the first 200K untill I changed tires and all my problems went away.

Highmiles,

I was just about to follow your advice replace my tires on my 98 gs400 with the Turaza's but noticed several people on the tirerack.com site complaining of a drop is gas mileage when they made the switch. Did you notice anything like that?

Ok look's like he got a pretty good penny for it. I sure wish the person who bought it keeps us up to date on the status of the car
