  • Great Luxury Flagship - 1998 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    After my 250k miles 1990 LS400 got trashed in a hail storm, I had to find a suitable replacement. After extensive research the 1998-2000 LS400 models fit the bill-40 more hp(290), 5 speed transmission, VSC and V8vvti engine. I bought online a one-owner, dealer-serviced, full records 1998 in mint condition that sold new for $59k. My test drive was the 1400 mile effortless drive back to Denver. Got 30mpg hwy doing 80mph with A/C on. The car absolutely looks and performs as new. The service history consists only of factory-recommended maintenance; nothing ever broke. A full dealer inspection after my trip revealed no issues. Spectacular vehicle for one-tenth cost new.

  • The best car in Lexus and all others - 1998 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought the 98 LS 400 from Toyota at 110K for $11K in 2007. Tried many cars including MB and other Lexus. I would say this is a car beyond belief, 10 fold better I mean. Even compare to brand new RX, it still is on different level. I plan to buy another soon. No matter how you compare, comfort, quality and reliability, it all scores top of all cars. This cars body integrity is so good, you simply feel solid and can drive confidently.

  • Perfection - 1998 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    Bought a 1998LS 400 with 140K miles on it 4 months ago. I am amazed by the performance and reliability of a 15 year old car by the way it puts many of the new cars on the road to shame, particularly luxury sedans of the same age. The best compliment for this car happened when my 15 years said she wants one too because the ride is so smooth, quiet and fast (when needed)!!

  • LS 400 - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought car as used and made over 64000, with current milege 135,000. I cross the country once and do not afraid to do it again with this milege. So far major repairs were: brakes discs, starter and steering pomp. Other is just regular maintenance. Heated seats never works. Car is excellent for long trips, very comfortable and relaxing. I start look around for replacement and the next car will be Lexus again. Quality of ride and interior design is unmatched. I think Lexus is on good path to pursuit perfection.

    This is the second Lexus I have owned, and this car was a great deal with low mileage! I did my research and found a beautiful one with low miles! I love driving this car, it has power, plush luxurious comfort, and excellent reliability! All in a beautiful sleek package! I will always love the Lexus brand!

  • From a Mustang GT to a Family Car - 1998 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    The car is solid as a rock. It has never once coughed or buzzed or knocked. I feel very safe driving my family around in it. Switching from a Mustang GT stick, it took a while to get used to the delay in jumping off the line. If you want power immediately, or are doing an instant merge to freeway speeds, you better be power breaking it from the get go. It has plenty of power, even more than the GT, but that half second delay can get you if you arent used to it. I am still finding cool features. It is luxury at its finest.

  • Simply Amazing - 1996 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    This car is simply amazing. It has very good power, handles well (although lots of body roll), brakes quite well, and is very enjoyable to drive. It is extremely reliable, and has a classic design. The 4.0L V8 engine is super smooth, as is the 4-spd. auto tranny. The car is extremely quiet, but produces a nice sound when under WOT.
