[GSUSA]

Hello All,

I have a 2001 model year GS430 at 162k miles and runs very well so far. Could you owners please tell me how long your transmission lasted and the Engine too? I am planning on to keeping it as long as it lasts.

Thanks and appreciate your input.

300,000 to 500,000 miles if the engine and transmission has been maintained properly with fluid changes and not abused. The engine and transmission will likely outlast the body. No oil changes and the engine could be "done" by 100,000 miles like any other engine. Other component failures are what are usually the end of these cars - worn interiors, electrical glitches, crashes and body damage that "total out" old cars.

As nearly perfect as my 2000 LS400 is at 152,000 miles, it's just a minor crash away from being totaled for insurance purposes. When a car is this old, you alway have to be prepared to buy another.
