I have 225 on my 92 5speed and its still running strong. i can churp 2nd still and have no problem beating gsr and the other honda ricers that try to race me. Im waiting for the motor to take a $h!t so i can drop in my 2jzgte cause i don't want to take out a perfectly good running motor. it just seems like it dosn't want to die which shows how reliable these cars are. the only maintance i do is chage the oil over 3-4k miles.

i have 154k on my 92 sc400 and it still runs strong. there was little stuff i had to change this year but nothing big. i love this car and plan to keep it for a while. just put a sound system in, it makes driving alot more fun with loud music blairing in your ear!

Yeah...amazingly enough...I have 210K on mine and it still moves out..runs with the best of them and doesn't burn a DROP of oil. I have 18" Polo Wraths on it...a 2 y/o paint job and everyone can't believe the miles or year.

I think i can honestly say that these are probably the best cars on the planet. For age and miles and to still run this well. Some cars don't even run when they get to where we are at, never mind run well. LExus best cars on the planet

Lets face it... Lots of cars can go over 200k miles these days. I had a Cavalier do it.
The real magic here is that an LS or SC can easily be 12 yrs old have 300k on it and look and run like a 3yr old 40k car.
12yr old Lexus paint looks better than 1/2 yr old GM paint.

Agreed. Not too many American cars can do that kind of mileage without some serious money put into it.
My buddy's Cavelier went at 140K.
I've seen lots of 10-15 year old Camry's and Celica's running great at over 200K. But the body's tend to wear out, and they tend to collect alot of bumps and bruises.
My 93 SC300 is almost up to 140K. My girlfriend doesn't know and thinks its a brand new car. ha, ha.
