i think that 6XXk mile one was posted on a mag? but also i would strongly say that the cluster has just been passed on from another sc into a another sc. either that or a engine swap.

but then again... this is toyota/ lexus engineering

Someone posted it on here a few days ago and I think they said the car was wrecked.

I'm at 162,200 miles. Glad to know that it will last at least another 150,000.

Even more amazing than the mileage: not a single bulb or needle out

Well, I try to maintain things that are critical and replace stuff when I have a chance. I no longer have any leaks on the front or top but my rear main seal is leaking. Rather than drop the tranny, I just bought a jug of cheap Wal-Mart synthetic oil to fill it in and there.

My power steering hose seeps too but it's not too big of a deal. Its not seeping at a catastrophic rate but I do plan to flush it and replace the hose.

If I do spend money to drop the tranny, I might as well upgrade the torque converter too while I am at it.

I should be replacing the motor mounts too as soon as I can find a cheap one.

Driving habit/style has alot to do with longevity as well. There is no need to redline it all the time. When the car isn't fully warmed up, take it really easy on the revs.
