  Great Luxury Flagship - 1998 Lexus LS 400
  By 90lsguy - June 28 - 4:16 pm

  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 Allen - April 28 - 12:46 am

  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 map64 - March 30 - 5:22 am

  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)!!

  From a Mustang GT to a Family Car - 1998 Lexus LS 400
  By Ben Logan - January 15 - 5:36 am

  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.

  Almost Heaven - 1998 Lexus LS 400
  By NoVa - October 19 - 10:56 pm

  Great car for full-sized American. At 6-2 and 275 lbs, I fit easily and comfortably in this car better than any I have ever driven. Effortless man-machine interface - this car is takes the stress out of driving in the DC areas insane traffic. Not sporty or flashy - but has plenty of performance if you need it.

  Great car, but not flawless. - 1998 Lexus LS 400
  By Hawkman - October 17 - 2:00 am

  Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love my LS400, but being the critic that I am...I was expecting even more perfection. Still the best car Ive driven, though, when it comes to peace and serenity. Stereo system is good but not as heart thumping as I was expecting. My Jeep GC 5.9 Limited with only an amped 12" sealed sub sounded better. Transmission is awfully jumpy at times. Slow speed transitions can result in head snapping if not gentle with gas pedal. The car is SOO quiet, that I am able to hear every little thing. I have a small rattle in the door when driving over bumpy roads...small vibration/rattle in the sunroof also. Thats it.

  Great Luxury Car - 1998 Lexus LS 400
  By svimburg1 - July 22 - 1:10 pm

  Smooth, quiet and powerful. Drive 400 miles on a tank of gas in serene comfort. My three young children prefer taking the LS 400 where they must sit side by side in the back versus taking our van where two of them can ride in captains seats while the third has the back row to himself. The car amazingly seems to promote family harmony. I bought my car in January 2014 with 133K on the odometer and it has run flawlessly for 8,000 miles over the past seven months. The original owner took excellent care of this car after he paid 60 grand for it. Although it cost much less as a used car, I am still maintaining it and treating it like new. Love this car!!

  Best Car on the Road - 1998 Lexus LS 400
  By The Juice - July 6 - 2:00 am

  I have to say this car is truly astonishing!!! No comparsion with the previous year model. This car just glides over the road. Why buy a new car, when you can purchase a used Lexus LS400 that will simply be a better car, unless of course it is a new LS430. Believe me, you cannot buy a better car for the money, new or used than a LS400. Nice part is everyone will really believe youre loaded, even though you paid under $25K for the car.
