Hi Matts
I'm at approx 156k miles.
Don't quote me but it's somewhere around there I believe although I haven't check when I got back from traveling- so maybe closer to 160k.

You're gonna beat me to 200k since you drive more miles, I'm sure.

Just sold my 2008 rx350 with 247k miles. I got a 2019 highlander and kind of regret it. The rx350 is much smoother on the road and over bumps. However I got what I wanted which was a 3rd row and cheaper maintenance. My sister crashed my rx350 a few years ago and something was wrong with the suspension. The more you put Aftermarket parts on the suspension the more you feel something is off. I feel like a 250k car is great for a commuter car but not family trips where you have to roll the dice something goes wrong. Also I had the timing cover leak for years and other leaks so I didn't want that catching up to me.

that was because i think i had some temp issues at the time that i dont recall off hand what they were but so far short of recently having to replace the purge hose assembly underhood the one tjat runs from the engine bay all the way back to the fuel tank area as that had a crack in it causing pressure etc to be released in turn causing the cel to come on; short of that so far things have been dandy. and yea i know other stuff will come up with a vehicle thats going on 16 years of age where a lot of parts are still factory original even with that its still going strong. so yea that was then and this is now.

i sorta hear ya on the rolling the dice thing. i mean on one hand i would love to take my rx on a road trip to visit a very good friend of mine that lives 2 states over from me but then again i dont want the dreaded cel to come on while im driving.

Yea I can understand when your vehicle has issues/problems & you kinda have no idea how to figure it out or what to do next, & your mind races to swapping the vehicle for another one. At times you'll need to slow down figure it out= post in here or take it to your mechanic/shop.....
