My '95 just turned over 213,000. Still runs nearly PERFECT and gets around 28mpg highway. However, the motor/tranny mounts are shot and the passenger side manifold leak makes the car sound like an old farm truck. But I've got new mounts and a set of S&Ss sitting in my living room that will cure that. Can't wait to see how long it goes. The only other car I owned that went this far was a '94 Honda Accord which was at 250,000 when it was stolen out of my garage

I've now got 95K on my 1996 LS. Just had the timing belt service completed and I'm good to go for another 90K. I''ll have this car for another 8-10 years
yup its like day and night compared to my 98GS4,

the GS is so rough with tight steering while the LS is like driving a couch

My 94 LS is the second LS in my family to pass 200K.

I just joined the 200K + club a few weeks back & it really looks good for its age since having the front bumper resprayed. I also have replaced the interior thanks to a group buy here so overall condition is very good.

I still like to drive it & probably push it to hard to get decent mpg average.

my mechanic said he thought the guy with the 1993 ls400 with 350k miles was his highest customer but he pointed to a guy with a 95 ls400 with 470k miles in houston, tx!

Just turned 220,000. Have said for a long while that this is my 250K, but I'm beginning to think it may be 350K or more. Still runs good, do need to get new speakers, and maybe a little trim paint...but other than that...all is well.

We're having an intermittant EFI/ignition problem on our '90 LS400, but the mechanic couldn't believe how strong the engine runs for having 327k miles on it now. Of course it ran perfectly for him :-P

Default 1994 Ls400 - 295,000

I've owned the car since 115,000 and have had to replace the following:
1. ABS attenuator hose - $400
2. Water Pump/Timing Belt Kit/Fan Shaft Assembly - $1000
3. Wheel Bearings - $500
4. Steering Rack - $500
5. Climate Control Display - $200
6. This winter will need Speedometer Cluster - $200 (Ebay & I will Install)
7. Shocks - $1000
8. And will need to replace Bushings soon.

But for 5 years ownership and 295,000 thats pretty good for having a Lexus with a great ride, good gas mileage and dependable transporation. Drives Like New.
