I'm curious now, how is an LS460 with 300K miles holding up? What if anything, has been repaired on it after all those miles?

I think pretty good. The service history for my 2014, 460 with 300,000 miles is all at the dealer until my ownership. So the 1st owner took it in about every 5-6 weeks. 5,000 miles in 5 weeks! But in my ownership, I've fixed is the Valley Plate coolant leak. I replaced the high-pressure AC sensor and am currently chasing a slow AC leak somewhere. I'm fairly certain it needs the TSB service for the chain tensioner as it'll rattle a bit after sitting and when cold one of the hydraulic lifters is stuck (clacking/clattering) until it warms up fully. Recently noticing a "clunk" sound from the front passenger suspension so have to figure out if it's the wheel hub bearing or upper/lower control arms starting to go. Of course I did all the fluids (engine, trans, diffs, brakes) as preventative measures. The interior is mint tho. For just driving around it works very well and I was happy to find it when I did.

Years ago I suggested to a friend that he really should consider a Lexus LS. I'd loaned him mine for a few days thinking I'd get him addicted. He thanked me but informed me "I'm afraid I'm not qualified." I responded with ??????. He smiled as he said "I think you have to be at least 60 to own one, right?".
I've got several Porsches but you can't be a Lexus LS with the Sport option- and seriously upgraded tires. Oh, and I'm well into my 78th year. smile.
My motto is "Keep having FUN".

Damn you. Lol. I am 44 but feel and act like I’m still in my 20’s. I bought my LS when I was 39 if that counts…

First car was a 2000 ES300. Got that in 2012 when I was 17.
Just got my 08' LS460 last fall, now I'm 28.
Forever a Lexus boy
