My 99 GS400 is approaching 300k and the suspension bushings creak like a stagecoach! Other than that (and the lack of a head unit) it's an AWESOME car! I spent some money when I bought it about 20k miles ago to make sure the engine would go to 400k. I have no doubt it will make it easily.

Bought an '01 GS300 a couple of months ago with right at 170k miles. So far it seems to be a good car with only a couple of real minor issues that I will eventually get addressed.

Rolled over 287k miles last week.... Estimate by late winter I'll be hitting 300k.... Best car I ever had... And longest daily driver! I usually wear a car out in 100k/3 years. I've put 149k on it since Oct 2011. Averaging only 25k a year.

early 98 GS400.....

And I only change my oil ever 25k to 30k miles. Oil analysis shows no abnormal wear. I do oil analysis every time.

Amazing! What oil do you use? I've been using pennzoil pure platinum synthetic for years and usually change it every 5,000-6,000 miles....but maybe I can go longer?
