  Simply Amazing - 1996 Lexus LS 400
  By Fayyaz - December 10 - 2:00 am

  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.

  Excellent, but costly to maintain - 1996 Lexus LS 400
  By Great Car - October 21 - 2:23 am

  I purchased a beautiful black 1996 LS 400 with factory chrome wheels in 2004. I thought, well, yes the car is 8 years old. However, it is a LEXUS and it only had 78,000 miles. I have never owned a better riding car. Ride is very quiet and smooth. Build quality is excellent and interior features and creature comforts represent true luxury. However, keep in mind that this car is also expensive to maintain. I have just called to set up an appointment for the routine 90,000 mile service and the price tag? $1,500 ! This is not for repairs, just routine maintenance. I consider that a lot, however, I guess most people who own these cars from brand new would have no problem affording it.

  This car is a no brainer - 1996 Lexus LS 400
  By gallen - June 11 - 2:00 am

  Ive had one and only one problem in the entire time Ive owned this car, which I purchased used with 22,000 miles on it. As of Feb 03 its got 79,000. Lexus has a well deserved reputation and the car is bulletproof. The car has always started, still has the original battery and I changed the brake pads once, north of 50,000 miles. Im a fairly aggressive driver too, so getting that kind of brake pad performance on a 2 ton car is telling. Overall - Id buy a used Lexus over a new "anything else" every time. Reliable, bulletproof and great ride all in one.

  Outstanding Car - 1996 Lexus LS 400
  By roadrunner - December 11 - 10:03 am

  Joy to own. Ride comfort and handling are superb. We love it. It is Mr. Reliable. Road trips are great in this car. Maintenance costs are more but has not been much more than a normal car. MPH: 22-27. 2 years ago, as I was traveling down a 2-lane road, a car entered my lane coming fast & directly toward me. I was going 60 mph. I cut the steering wheel sharply to at least a 45-degree angle to get out of the lane & toward the ditch. I turned the car sharply to the left down the shoulder. The car was still in my lane as I passed it. Emergency maneuverability: superb.

  Very well made old classic car - 1996 Lexus LS 400
  By david - June 16 - 8:23 am

  Damn cup holders, too small for my giant big gulp! That is my only complaint on a 14 year old car with 173k miles. Drives like new, well done Toyota/Lexus.
