Amazing how a thread on 200k mile Lexus issues turned into a discussion about octane ratings. To the OP, that probably answers your question on how many issues high mileage Lexus cars have.

 

Or nobody here is keeping their cars over 200K miles. If mine ever reaches 100K I'll drive to the dealer and trade it in for a new one or a lot sooner than that.

 

My man! I don't think I will ever reach 100K in my car. 7 years I hit 44,400 miles.

 

I put more miles on my bicycles!

 

Mines has about 71k bought it with 19k plan on keeping it forever. When I reach 100k sometime at the end of next year I'll let you know. So far no issues really. Replaced the battery tires and brakes

 

Bought with 89,000 miles in Dec 2016
previous owner was a judge, in 4 years he spent $10k on lexus recommenced service and maintenance, tires included


Now has 134000 miles Oil changes every 10k because My wife is lazy Still haven’t changed spark plugs since 60k 😖 no issues yet battery died once in 2017 Ac wasn’t cold one day but worked the next day and been good even since, strange! 2013 GS 350 F sport rwd Texas humid weather

 

there was someone on "GStars" group page on facebook that has over 250k clocked on his 2013 F-Sport he stated he only changed the water pump and accessory(serpentine) belt no other major issues. He was on the original water pump until 180k *YIKES* lol

 

Does anyone know how much the dealer charges to replace the water pump if it's out of warranty?

 

Here's the facebook post from the guy with +250k MILES:

I'm loving it! i plan on keeping the car a long time, even after i get another different car, so i'm happy about this.

 

... and he only changed the water pump because of the high mileage... it did not fail. I hope the other AC servo motors hold up for that long. LOL

 

I just did full struts and springs on my gs350 Lux 129k avs were leaking replaced them with KYB EXTAGE cars drive like a brand new car and extra sporty

 

Nice!!! Great to hear from those who have high mileage GS cars!

 

The water pump is all metal, you'll never have to replace it, probably same reason Lexus doesn't recommend touching it, same reason you never have to touch the timing chain. My dad had a Honda accord that drove to 232,505 on the original water pump(never failed). Also the rubber timing belt was changed late, 150k miles, 50k miles over the recommended change interval and still was nowhere near critical condition.

I also plan on driving my GS past 232,505 miles, currently over 100k miles and no issues.

And to prove my point why you never have to touch the water pump:

 

127,000 on mines my ‘13. Bought it in 2015 with 35k miles. I do a lot of traveling so it mostly highway miles. Oil changes every 5k miles, I replaced the battery and a set of tires. No other issues besides my clock decided to stop working 20k miles ago..

 

My Dad has 210k on his 2006 GS300. Only issues he has ever had were a couple sensors. Hes has done Spark plugs when recommended and regular oil changes. I sold it to him 7 years ago with 53k on it. My 2015 only has 19k but these cars last a long time......
