2001 LS430: 150k - Never had a major problem. All scheduled services have been done. The ML subwoofer is a pain in the a** - but thats really about it.

Default 118k on an 05

Just hit 118k in my 05, which I bought used with 57k miles. I put 30k/yr on my car. Nothing but routine maintenance so far. I hope to give it to my granddaughter when she goes off to college in 10 years.

2001 with 131K, bought used 10 months ago at 117K. 4th owner! Runs great, no issues so far. Decided to try an LS430 after talking with an Irish gent who told of driving an LS430 to 475K miles during it's employ in his car service business (with no engine or drivetrain issues).

Update 12/21/11: 139,000 miles today. Only problem so far was a broken inside driver's door handle, which I fixed myself last week by removing the inner door panel and carefully driving some screws through the panel into the handle. Worked like a charm.

Update 12/23/12: 150,000 miles today! Only new parts since last update are new EGR hose, valve, and grommet. What a great car.

I can believe it. The LS430 is the last of true workhorses with some technology and safety. In the old days (I'm dating myself now) the equivalent domestic non luxury "forever cars" were the early 70s Dodge Dart and Chevy Nova. Super reliability to this extent as in the LS430 does not come that often to any car manufacturer these days.

2002 Lexus LS430
64,000 miles.
Dad purchased it with 52,000 miles. The car has been pampered for its entire life, and I'm sure it will last forever.

Just bought a 2001 LS430UL with 56k miles. Had to replace some routine wear items when I got it (tires, break pads, filters, etc). The subwoofer was dead, too, so I got a new one and I am going to try and fix the old one.

165,000. '01 LS-430. Bought it four years old with 7,400 miles on it so I've put just under 160,000 on it myself. Other than scheduled maintenance, I've only replaced one seal.

Mines an 04 with just under 62k on it. Since I purchased it 3 years ago I'v only had 2 issues and both were covered under CPO warranty - Headlight Adjusters went, and a rear suspension issue that was discovered while being test driven after an oil change.
