  • Bad luck with this VIN# and Bulletins - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought this 1995 LS 400 because of its high reliability ratings. The first owner (I was 2nd) had it serviced regularly at a Lexus dealer. The problem is my particular VIN# was in a range of cars manufactured using defective engineering designs. One problem was a vibration at about 35 mph. I had it fixed according to the bulletin for about $2500. They had to replace the axles (evidently manufactured out-of-round) and add a supporting brace! The other problem is a shift-shock which entails replacing the computer for $3500! I asked Lexus to help defray the cost for these but they said the car was too far out of warranty (even though these are most likely manufacturing defects).

  • Great car to own - 1995 Lexus LS 400

    You cant go wrong with this car. It is built solid and made to run. Im in sales and depend on a vehicle to be dependable and look great too. This one has exceeded my expectations in every way. Also, people assume you spent a lot more for it than most other vehicles. For that reason, it gives a small level of prestige to the owner...if that is important to you. To me, the value of owning it has been its flawless dependability. Even if it is a little more expensive to maintain, it is worth every bit. Toyota/Lexus builds super vehicles!

  • Just plain fun to drive! - 1995 Lexus LS 400

    I really like the looks of this model, but as soon as I drove it I was sold! It hugs the road and rides better than a Mercedes. I read that Lexus has a patent on the seat design. Very comfortable and the leather looks almost brand new. Immaculate workmanship. Everytime I drive it I feel spoiled. My husband is impressed.

    It all started in 83 when Toyota chief decided to compete with the best luxury cars like Mercedes and BMW, first LS400 came to market in 1990. The rest is history. I have owned several LSes in the past few years. Currently I have two LS 400s, one has 102k miles another one 229k miles(!) There is almost no difference between those to cars. Both run perfect without any problems. My mechanic (Lexus technician) told me, that those cars are: "bullet proof". We have 4 LS400 in my family all of them high mileage. two have over 200k miles and those are much more reliable than most new cars we had. Dont be afraid of high mileage LSes any year. Those cars were over engineered.

    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.

  • 300,000 Miles! - 1995 Lexus LS 400

    I bought this car with 336,000 miles only because every mechanic I took it to said I couldnt go wrong buying this car. The deal I got was amazing and this car feels brand new even with all these miles. Only regular maintenance done on the car, engine and tranny are original but run like new. Definitely recommend this car to anyone.

  • Great Luxury Car - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought a well cared 95 LS400 with 100K km on it from a family member for my wife. Fantastic car, outstanding build quality (try the same age Benz or BMW, I did), rather boring drive, maybe because it was driven very leisurely before and it may have an adaptive transmission that remembers driving habits. No other car in that age will last. Very expensive dealer service.

  • Best Reliable Luxury Car - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought a used Lexus LS 400 with 94000 miles from an auction 3 years ago thru a dealer friend for 11K. The car is now at 152000 miles and only work I have done on it is routine... brakes, timing belt/water pump, spark plugs, wires. This is the best ride you can ask for the money as it still rides and feels as if it is a brand new car. Every person who has driven my car has accepted the fact that this is a very smooth ride.

    Comfortable, luxurious, quiet, absolutely reliable with excellent brakes and so much power that it just isnt an issue -- one never feels the car straining. Just a remarkable car.

  • Awesome Car/Awesome value - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought this Lexus LS400 from a small lot. Wasnt in the best shape, but good enough. With a some TLC, i got her running like a top. A few small problems, one the a/c doesnt blow very hard, the trunk is smaller than what one would expect, the 6 disc changer. Other than that, there are no real problems to speak of. The 4.0L DOHC engine is a dream! Even at 240,000+ mi. Once you get on the highway, sustained triple digit speed is not a problem. Passing, also not a problem. Independent rear makes mountain passes a dream. All it takes is regular maintenance. I recommend Synthetic oil, for oil changes. Great car would def recommend. Would get another, but why? This ones gonna last forever!
