Yep, about 4 years ago I picked up a high mileage (156K)/”cream puff” 2015 RX-350 for pretty cheap at the local Lexus dealer after I had a look at the service records (20-something commuter lady had “driven the the wheels off” going back & forth to the Bay Area from the CA central valley)...she had all service done at the dealer including tires (she got robbed by the Lexus dealer...$2,200. for 4 Michelin tires) & battery, etc.. The RX now has 171,000 miles and I have just put new wiper blades on it since buying (+ oil changes & air filters). So 171K miles with just tires, a battery, filters, and wiper blades. Used to be a MOPAR guy (my grandfather who taught me car repair on my “in High School” ‘65 Plymouth Fury III as a teen was a MOPAR fan) but the ‘90’s/early 2000’s Chrysler T&C minivans I owned soured me on the brand. (Post “Lee Iacocca” and at the start of “Fiat”).

One of my former coworkers bought a 1990 Lexus 4 door sedan that had around 50k miles in it. It was one of the first models that Lexus sold in the states. It was six years old and was well cared for. He drove it to work and everywhere else. I talked to him awhile back and asked him about the car. His grandson was currently driving it with over 450k miles on it. The only things that had been done to the car other than regular maintenance and replacing the usual stuff that wore out was fixing oil leaks and rebuilding the suspension.
