I have a 140,000 on mine 2007 IS 250 and no major mechanical problems. But I have a burnt out needle on the tachometer and my nav screen is gone.

yes please do tell! just got my 07 350 in march (currently at 67k mi). hoping to keep this car for many many many years. I'm a sales engineer, though, and I'm sure I'll hit 100k way too soon.

any tips to keep it healthy are welcome

Wow. Congrats. I have 45k on my 07 IS350. I drive it like 50 miles a week. I put most of my miles on my daily beater.

Thanks guys! My gf gave her car to her sister so we share the is. It is unfortunate but guess well just have to do so until next year. I got the car with 79k miles in march so you can just do the math how much we've worked this car like a horse! I've done all the oil changes on her so far. Nothing sounds different like day 1 when I got her so like they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I was a bit sad she reached 100k but got over it. A car is meant to be driven so oh well. The car still runs really strong. Surprised I haven't blown my speakers yet so that's a plus. I'm usually in the 40-50s when it comes to volume.

Man I'm almost there. But there's no trick just got be lucky maybe or is it reliability from Lexus. I bought a 08 brand new and it still runs really good. I didn't do anything other then air filter and oil changes. I do plan on doing spark plugs and radiator flush when it hits te 100 k mark. Brakes are a given but other than that nothing else. No battery no fuses no dead light bulbs nothing.

I personally believe the best, most reliable cars are those that are daily driven and driven more than 5 minutes a pop. I've got a couple years until I reach the 100k mark on '06 350, but I have no doubt that I'll still have it at that point and that it'll be running perfectly at that time.

Congrats on the milestone!
