LexKid630 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 How many miles do you think an rx300 would last for before it becomes too broken to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkie Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 How many miles do you think an rx300 would last for before it becomes too broken to drive? ← It all depends on how well the vehicle is maintained, as well as "hard" vs "soft" miles. City driving 1000 miles is equivelent to 3000 highway miles. On average I would say a RX should be good for 200k before anything major. -Pinkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruznroadking Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I know someone who drives a 99 RX with 180,000 miles. Almost all highway miles. Original engine & transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGR Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Depends greatly on: 1. How the car was driven during the break in period. 2. Preventive maintenance service intervals. 3. Use of OEM vs aftermarket replacement parts, filters, lubes and fluids. 4. Driving style of the driver. 5. Driving conditions (city vs. highway) 500,000 miles is possible if 1. Car is broken in correctly as outlined in the owners manual 2. Preventive maintenance service intervals are twice as frequent as suggested in the owners manual 3. Only OEM replacement parts, filters, lubes and fluids are used. 4. Driver has an unhurried, easy going driving style although it is not harmful to cruise all day at 80 MPH on level ground. 5. Car is used mainly in highway driving. The engine can withstand city driving for 500,000 miles, but the transmission cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Half a million miles + if the vehicle is maintained properly shouldn't be a problem (that includes no engine &/or tranny rebuilds). B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
