We got our 15 GS Fsport last month with 25K on the odo. I have plans to drive it as much as possible. Why? CPO warranty, unlimited miles until 2021. I'm in DFW, TX and normally put 20K on my car each year. I daily an old GS300, but we take my wife's car to go everywhere else.

I got a 2007 Lexus GS 350 in 2010 with 49K miles. From 2010 until end of 2017, the total became 240K miles until someone rear-ended me and it was deemed a total loss. I would have driven that car to the ground as a daily. From the time I had it, I racked up about 27K miles yearly.
I got a 2015 F Sport about a week ago, and I have no plans to limit my mileage.

I bought my GSh for daily driving, hence I could care less about the mileage that I put on the car. Additionally, I own my car outright (don't have a lease), so there are no restrictions on the maximum amount of miles that I'm allowed to put on her per year.
If the GS was some sort of exotic/weekend cruiser/collectible, I could understand the point of being "careful" with mileage, but these vehicles are designed for high mileage and to be driven! There is a reason you see so many older Toyota & Lexus vehicles on the roadways.
I hope for many years & thousands of miles of trouble-free driving.

I have a 2013 ES350 UL. I saw this thread and wanted to post. I have only had it about 6 months and have put about 10k+ on it. I noticed the speedo was of about 5+ miles per hour faster than I was going, before I changed to new Michelin tires. Now its still off 3-4 miles per hour depending on the speed.
Reason I brought this up because I've Goggled about Toyota's, and Lexus's possible racking up more mile on the odometer than actually traveled. Honda lost a class action suit about this a few years ago. I drive the ES about 90% of the time. Wondering if any others feel like their odometer is racking miles faster than reality like I feel?

I bought my 15 f-sport back in September 2016 with 3k miles. I just hit 31k this past weekend. I told myself in the beginning that I would baby the miles since I have a genesis coupe to beat around in. That turned out to be a lie, seeing how the genesis sits up more than the GS LOL. I stopped worrying about mileage within a week of driving the car.

I bought my 2014 GS350 AWD, CPO the 6th. of this month (Feb) 38,883K. I now have 39,452K . I'm not worried about how many miles gets put on it I bought it to drive. I also have a 2008 Tundra SR5 5.7, a 2005 Acura RL, and a 2008 stretched and lowered Suzuki Hayabusa to drive.
