If you guys havent notice the title, it says how many miles have your car lasted/died. Not how many miles you got.

Well not many people on here have dead GS'. So it would inevitably turn into this.

My 98 GS400 was sent to an early grave by a GMC Sierra HD 1500 @ 112k km/70k miles back in Nov 30, 2011.

Just got my 02 GS430 in Feb.. see how she fares

I got mine at 184k. Just crawled over 200k miles yesterday. Im hoping it will go quite a bit more but theres a lot that needs to be done to get there especially this oil leak/consumption that i can't seem to figure out.

I'm at about 234k running strong. Solid as hell. Anyway, try replacing your cam seal and reseal the Vvti o ring. My cousin (PUREGS) replaced both on mine and I haven't had a leak since.

Yeah when I started the thread I was really asking how many miles is on your GS whether it's running, dead, sold, etc. That'd be depressing otherwise. Might as well call it 2g GS obituaries lol. Speaking of which...



That's my old '01 GS430

I just clicked over 210,000 (miles) while driving to Chicago. 01 GS 300. My dad bought it brand new with ~15 miles on it. I bought it off of him about 2.5 years ago.
