2000 GS400 (dad's car 
) with 173K miles on it. CAI installed, new front brakes recently installed, full LED interior light swap. Just need to turn off a few of the common warning lights, and some cosmetic work. Other than that this is a rocket with no sign of stopping any time soon!

Original proud owner of 01 GS430
I'm the original owner of a 2001 GS 430 with 199486 miles. All I do are:
Mobil 1 and filter every 5000 miles.
drained and filled transmission fluid every 50K miles
flush brake fluid every 2 years
and get the car alignment done every time I replaced tires.
It's like an Energizer's Bunny.... It keeps going and going and going....

I feel almost ashamed on posting my 2000 GS-400 with 27, 128 miles , compared with those high mileage highway veterans . Mobil 1 oil and Toyota OEM filter every 3000 miles ... done it 9 times , to be exact , lol...
Replaced the brake pads (with Toyota OEM pads) 500 miles ago on the four wheels . New tires and alignment last week . The car is in perfect mechanical condition , in and out .

I'm at 157268 on the 01. After dropping a little under $3000 on dealer maintenance parts alone(no labor, most work done myself), 300 feels like a brand new car. Well worth it, but still got the three o2 sensors, fuel filter, brake and steering flush/tranny drain and refill, and maybe the IAC. Amazing car!

Update from 2yrs ago
98 GS400
Was 230,000 now at 259,175 miles
Timing belt, water pump, all seals and belts changed
- 4 Wheel bearings
- Oil Change every 5k Mobile 1
-Needs transmission solenoid (will be done in the next week)
Still drives just as fast as when I first bought it at 167,000
Was looking at other vehicles in-case I wanted something new, and all I liked was the G8 and M45.
After pondering a bit, this car is still one of the fastest sedans and great handling (with trds and front and rear strut bar) I'll just keep it. Until I can afford the 2014 CTS-V sport.
