2006 GS430 @ 76400 miles
Just changed tires, cleaned up throttle body, polished her up, and running great.
No issues really. Just need to use touchup paint on parts of the front that keep getting pelted by road debris.

'09 GS350 AWD - 76,250 miles.
Bought it used in '10 with 10,034 miles on it. So yeah, I've been running it hard (sometimes, over 1,000 miles per week). Wonderfully reliable car. I buy all genuine Toyota parts for super cheap on irontoad.com, and use the DIY's here to do all required maintenance so far and I've saved THOUSANDS.
I've been using Mobil 1 every 5k miles for oil changes. Now that the car's out of warranty I'd like to extend teh oil change period from 5k to 7.5k or even 10k. I use my car for 95% highway miles and cruise at 75-85, so i'm not exposing the engine to extreme wear. Has anyone had experience using oil change periods greater than the recommended 5k?

I'm curious, just picked up a clean 2009 GS350 with 20,303 miles on it. All checked out via Carfax, no accidents, original one owner, went to my local Lexus dealer and they checked the VIN and said all maintenance was done regularly, etc., and I was told that is pretty low mileage for the year of car.
Just wanted to know what other members' mileage is and what year their cars are, so I can know what to expect on mine down the road. I'm retired and probably won't be driving that much.
Thanks in advance.
