I think the person meant 138,000 miles. With 138,000,000 on the odo, the car will be worth no where near the asking price unless the car just got a new low milage motor in it.

Actually if that were true the car would be priceless....Lexus would use it for marketing Lexus quality, durability and longevity and probably pay top dollar to stick it in a museum as a showpiece...

Assume that the car was delivered on 1 Jan 1996 en is being used for 24 hours a day, so it has been used for approx 3220 days...

138,000,000 miles in 3220 days =
42,857.1 miles per day
or
1785.7 mph ...

WOW ... WOW


if that was really possible ...
