I hope it goes for a long, long time because I plan on keeping and driving mine!! I had a 97 SC300 that I sold at 170k miles. That car was going just as strong when I sold it. That's why I came back to Lexus - these cars just keep going and going and going... Just take care of it and it will last you forever.

95K and only a slight radiator leak on the top passenger side corner. No other problems!! Timing Belt and Water pump replaced on a 2006 model last month and water pump showing signs of seal beginning to leak. Evidence of weeping seal and dried anti-freeze within pump area, no leak to ground. Original owner not good about flushing cooling system likely contributed to radiator corroding thru at the top corner.

Thanks for the info regarding maintenance on coolant system. Any recommendations for lubricants used on the rooftop and, or even for the break caliber and other gears? I live in very humid tropical environment.

Put the SC on a battery tender. Best $40 investment, get easy plug in attachments so you will not be lazy to hook it up all the time.
