Car Life

I have an LS400 in excellent condition with 175,000 miles on the clock.

Although I have had numerous cars in my life and normally change at least once a year, I have now reached a stage where I felel like keeping this one.

Any thoughts on the maximum life I can expect, potential major repairs etc.

Thanks

Michael

dunno about repairs but your cars just reaching pubity at that mileage, from what ive seen you can double that with ease.

suppose if you doing 20000 miles a year thats still nearly 9 years motoring

cant say that about many other cars can you

I have 3 LS 400's. my 1990 now has 235,000 miles, does not use a drop of oil in between changes, which I do once a year using synthetic, and it gets up to 25 MPG on trips and I drive 80 MPH.

The only real maintenance is changing the oil and every 100,000 miles change the timing belt and water pump.
