2001 with 85K miles, only problem is CD changer jammed, mirror switch needed contact cleaner and trunk struts recently will not hold open the trunk lid.
Last Costco battery only lasted one year, but they replaced it. Lexus checked the charging system a few months earlier, so the battery was the culprit.
Continues to start quick, but some machinery noise from the engine until it warms up. Runs smooth and quiet. Everything works. Oil changes every 3K miles.

121k on an '04 and at about 115k the lower control arm bushings started making noise. Annoying, but not life threatening or anything. I drive it with 2 kids often and otherwise pretty moderate - I assume these will need replaced on most of our cars north of 100k+

2001 with 113,000.
Bought it 6 months ago with 97K. Did the 90K service at dealer.
Passenger door actuator and gas filler tube are problems. But I am unwilling to spend $1K to fix the two items.
I enjoy the vehicle.

76'000+ on my silver 05. Bought it two months ago and the only issue is the noisy tires that it came with that i will soon replace after i wear them down a lil more. One other major issue i have with this damn car is i can't keep the women's eyes off of this thing. Everywhere i look there's a set of female eyeballs staring. I try hiding the car but i look in the mirror and there they are! Can anybody help me with this annoying issue or is there a thread you can point me to. 
Other than that, its fine.

The ladies like the classy sleds... but me, I'd don't pay any attention to that 
Mine is an 06 LS CPO bought in August 09 with 14.5k, it has 17.5k miles on it now. I typically drive 6-8 k per year. So far I love it, absolutely no problems. It replaced a 99 Acura RL. I don't miss the RL much at all.

You need to post some pics of your LS430 Jabberwock, if you don't mind of course.

2004 UL black/black
I bought my 2004 UL Black on Black 3 months ago with 103k and so far its been great. I had to replace an Oxygen sensor and I just put on 4 tires and front brakes (which I knew it needed b/4 I bought it) All previous service was done at Lexus. Mileage on these cars do not scare me - should get 200k without major issues.
