500,000 mile club member (1 Viewer)

[100s4bd]

This week my 2000 LC became a member of the 500,000 mile club.

It is all original. Engine, transmission, seats, even the windshield. Everything works, including the sunroof, and it is a pleasure to drive. This is my daily driver and I've owned it for five years. (I also have a 2002 with 280,000 miles that I have owned for 18 years.)
I believe that, if regularly maintained, in a place that doesn't salt the roads during winter, and no water leaking in, this LC has 500,000 more miles and 25 more years of life. At 57, it might outlast me.

I have it serviced at Ozzi's Automotive in Roswell, Georgia. Shout out to John Minozzi.

Several years ago I had the paint corrected and ceramic coated at AP3 Atlanta.

that is so awesome. Few other models could ever hope to make it that far. I still see so many 100's on the road, i know most of them are 200k , 300k , or more.

I love this! Yes, I always think to myself as I'm driving around how many 100 series I still see on the road compared to anything else from the era.

The 300K sticker goes out a lot more frequently than this one right here. (Because of human failings not Land Cruiser's)

lots of fuel purchased! Great job.

Original windshield!!! that means most of those miles were not earned on the freeway (I am on my 3rd windshield within the last 50k miles)

 

[ScotyDosentKnow]

This is awesome, you love to see it! Makes mine feel like a spring chicken at 230K

 

[ScotyDosentKnow]

lots of fuel purchased! Great job.

If he averaged 14mpg over 500K miles and fuel averaged $2.50/Gallon over those miles that truck has burned through a little over $89K in fuel lol

Smiles per gallon!

$89k before time value of money factored in.

Awesome!!! How is the interior holding up?

 

[2001LC]

With proper maintenance. No reason they can't go forever. They were the last, built to be maintained. IMHO the 100 series was the pinnacle of Toyota engineer.

Could they have done even better, YES! But not by much!

 

[MongooseGA]

Congrats on this! I'll have to keep an eye out around town for you.

Some quick pics. I will try to get around to posting a better set of pics. Except for the driver seat the interior is in outstanding condition.

Hey @MongooseGA, I replied to a comment you made on a thread about "Windshield Replacement Challenges..." You posted that you know a local guy...
A company in Marietta just gave me a quote for $1,800, which is ridiculous.

I'm a bit biased but starting to agree with the 100 series / 2UZ being the pinnacle as well. I've been shopping around a lot lately, getting hooked on the 70 and 60 series and even looking at other makes, but nothing makes sense to me...I start thinking, why... why not just stick with the 100 series which seems to have the best of all characteristic and modern build features built in

Just a reflection of the time period. Early - mid 2000's is peak Toyota / Lexus.

I've said before, if it wasn't in production or in design by 2001, it's an inferior Toyota.

Yet here I am shopping for 200s.
