I have a 1999 that has 250,000 miles. Love it! I have also owned a 1991 that my son totaled.....he is still alive! Lol... Wouldn't drive anything else!
From UK. I bought one in Toyota blue with oatmeal ( mushroom?) upholstery. The day I took ownership it was to the day exactly 25 years old, a 1999 second generation. I auctioned my Rolls Silver Spirit and now have this instead. Everything that was metal on the RR is plastic on the Lexus, but so what? It’s a beautifully made car and nobody could ever guess its age. 118,000 miles and even a personalised number plate L400! Under £4,000. It’s smooth, suave, sophisticated and a pleasure so far to own. The Rolls made me a bit anxious, the Lexus seems to give peace of mind. I used to play the flute as my profession and have settled for a Japanese instrument, a Muramatsu platinum plated on a silver body. It’s remarkable what these clever people can create. Did you show the electrically powered headrests and seat belt positioners? I enjoyed the wacky presentation. Thanks
Hey Paul, I agree with your thoughts on Japanese ingenuity, fine craftsmanship that's dependable! I occasionally check out 90's Rolls Royce and Bentley's for sale. Beautiful cars for sure, was your Rolls a challenge to maintain? I imagine there are more qualified RR mechanics in the UK than here in America. Maybe one day I'll break down and get one. I didn't show the LS400 power headrests and seatbelt positioners, great idea for another video. Thanks for watching and wishing you many more happy years driving your LS!
Just got my 98 ls400 in April, I love it so much, mine is not as clean as yours but it runs like Apollo’s chariot as it races across the sky every morning haha, wish I had seen this when I was doing my research on the car cause you were so thorough I would’ve bought faster. Cheers mate!
Congratulations on owning the best car ever made! There's nothing quite like getting into an old-school Lexus LS400 - Apollo's chariot is an appropriate metaphor! Wishing you many years of joy with your gem. Thanks for watching, J.Guerra333!
That's a great idea! I'll see if I can get around to doing that in the next couple of months. Car is good as new, still rides like a dream! Thanks so much for watching, and happy holidays!
I wholeheartedly agree with your take on this Japanese automotive masterpiece. I Love my 2000 LS, and my mother loves her 1993 LS. Mine is slightly modded and hers is stock. Both driven with joy on the regular. Huge bang for your buck with this car and the styling is timeless.🤌🏼 Enjoyed the review Buddy. 1UZ for life.☝🏼
Must be nice comparing yours with your mother's 1993, the evolution of the greatest car ever made! I agree with you about the styling, these old LS models look better than any new car on the lot today! Wishing you both many happy miles ahead and thanks so much for watching, eddietruhead!
I have a 1998 400 LS for some reason the knock sensor just went out. Does anybody know why that might happen with only 82,000 miles? Also, it’s very clean car and that’s original miles and I may want to sell it. 🤔
Hopefully someone reading the comments section knows what to do. Your LS sounds like a gem, good ones are getting tough to find. Thanks for watching, Todd!
You made a great choice, I'm sure you'll love it! Can't beat the GS300, still a contemporary design 30 years later and the dependability is unmatched. Thanks for watching, wishing you all the best!

WOW, these cars are thanks for sure, indestructible! Thanks for watching, Branda!

There are lots of gems out there, thanks so much for watching, mrsterlinj8789!
do a 1,5 year review! would love to see an update!
That's a great idea! I'll see if I can get around to doing that in the next couple of months. Car is good as new, still rides like a dream! Thanks so much for watching, and happy holidays!
@ awesome! I look forward to it! nice to know you still own it! happy holidays!
I’m thinking of getting a Lexus ls400 1998 with 250k miles soon very soon and can’t wait
You'll enjoy it, Dan. If the timing belt needs replacing, be sure to use that as leverage in your negotiations. All the best and thanks for watching!
@@JonathanBrowneMenzies thanks bro still deciding either a lS400 or a ls430
😍 I would love to try to drive this nice and classic car too! Feel that driving on the clouds too! 🤭❤️🚘🚗
It's very comfortable, just glides right over the bumps. Thanks of watching, victorian butterfly!
How much would a timing belt cost? Ballpark?
RepairPal says $1,133 - $1,352, but probably more if you go to the dealer. Thanks for watching, magic!
