  • sweet chariot - 1998 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I baught this car new in January of 1998. I paid $62500 for it and it has been worth every penny. I love it. it rides like a cloud and it will out run any Camaro or mustang on the road. I would recommend this car to anyone . repairs are a bit pricey but it is a luxery car. this car has probably the best sound system I have ever heard. 16 years later it now has 170,000 miles on it and it run and drives like brand new.

  • Great, But Not Exciting - 2000 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    This is an excellent car. The LS 400 is all a luxury car should be. Its quiet, comfortable and powerful. The fit and finish is unmatched. Im still amazed with the car power and acceleration, yet how quiet it is at all speeds. The tranny shifts so smoothly you can barely feel it. Great gas mileage for car size @ 18/25 city and highway. The car is so good to ride and drive, its almost boring.

  • Excellent Value - Great Car - 1997 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    Ive had my LS 400 for 11 years and it runs like the day I bought it. I have 172,000 miles and it still runs strong. When my Mercedes was totalled in 2006, I was back to driving my old LS 400 full time. I was planning to sell it and buy another car, but I was so impressed how it still drives, that I just decided to clean it up and keep it. Dont be cheap about maintenance. I do all service at the dealer, and have no problems. It passes smog tests with flying colors and the gas mileage is not bad for a car this size. I plan to keep this car for as long as i can!

  • own one of the best cars in the world - 1997 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I purchased My 1997 Lexus LS400 with 150 000miles for 4000,-$ in February 2011. But I can assure you, that this car is more reliable than any German car of those years or newer. Sure 97 BMW 740,is more powerful and is a bit more fun to drive and MB-S430 is more luxurious and even a bit more spacious, but in overall performance/reliability/luxury.... this car outperform any of them by a long shot. Previous owners did not took care of it properly and didnt use premium fuel and use some shady trans fluid, but car is still awesome. Do yourself a favor and change transmission filter ,gasket and toyota t-IV ATF. keep your regular oil change and always use premium fuel.

  • 100% Luxury - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    Through a dealer friend, I bought this car at a dealer auction and paid $13,000. The exterior and interior are in mint condition, the car was obviously garage kept and never smoked in. I have also owned a 1995 ES300 for almost 4 years now. The LS400 is, without question, the finest car I have ever owned or driven. I owned 7 Volvos over the past 20 years, and I have owned a Cadillac DeVille. There is simply no comparison. The car is so quiet, the only thing you can hear is the tires on the road. The Nakamichi stereo system is a plus. Anyone who has never driven a Lexus simply doesnt know what they are missing. One test drive, and you are hooked.

  • 1st Lexus and Loved it... will buy again - 1996 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    I bought a 96 LS400 white/tan at 156k miles and I did have to put about $4000 into it for new a/c, timing belt, water pump, front end, all fluids & filters, complete tune up. No paper work was purchased with the car, so I took a gamble. After the expenses, I put a set of LS430 wheels on it and WOW much better looking. Its been the best car ever. We drove it more than my wifes 04 ES330, but sadly it was totaled out and we are now looking for a 98-00 LS400. Love these cars!

    like consumer reports said when they first rated this car....they had to raise their standards as they had never tested a car this good

  • 175k miles and never in the shop! - 2000 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    My wife wanted a luxury car so we did the Mercedes/BMW/Jaguar deal. I was most concerned about reliability since we were looking at $60k or more so I pushed for the Lexus and I am glad that I did. I have owned tons of cars and by far this is the best when you consider everything. I have since purchased 2 other older Ls 400s for our two sons and they have been wonderful as well. You cant beat this car for reliability as my 175k never in the shop miles prove. I just change the oil.

  • Unbelievable! - 1998 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    It is unbelievable that Lexus can put up so many contradictory characteristics into the same car: Luxury to the extreme yet economical with high reliability and best in class MPG. With "Pulse and Glide" technique, I get 37 MPG on freeway. Using cruise control, I get 30 MPG; Top performance yet quiet and smooth as silk. Acceleration start at 30+ is breath taking. I challenge any sports car on the road. Feel like "Speak softly and carry a big stick" I call it the world class economical luxury sports cruiser.

  • The Best of the Best! - 1995 Lexus LS 400
    By -

    Incredible car. Ive put some custom performance parts on mine, and it is even better and faster! Not only Grandpa drives these, things are changing. Add 20" Chrome rims, performance tires, custom intake system, custom exhaust, 10" subs, limo tint all around and youve got a sweet looking ride!
