@@lowkey4026 im in the exact same position, just that im from Ireland. There was one for sale here for only €3,200 but im still too broke :( tax, insurance and fuel costs would be astronomical anyway, when i graduate and im working I'm buying one as fast as i can
@@elsathedemonwolf1035 nothing wrong with it he just didn't floor it lol. I have a 93 LS400 it's not that fast tbh it feels fast but it actually isn't still my favorite car to drive tho.
I am 19 years old and absolutely in love with this car. I personally think that it doesnt look like a "grandpa car" at all. I think its more of a gangster car especially in europe. I want it. Im going to get it.
@@gigel99324 saved up 5000€ now, working on it. But might have to sped it all on rent since I moved out for university haha. LS400s are hard to get in Germany…..
@@Coldwallbar Stock the UCF10 came with 250hp and being 30 years old it's even less than that. I own a 92...it's peppy for being a 30y/o boat but it's not powerful by any means.
@@Coldwallbar You're missing the point...when compared to most other V8 engines it is not a powerful engine. It's not meant to be, it was made to be reliable and smooth which is where it excels. There's a reason the UZ platform isn't as popular of a swap as an LS.
I have a 99 LS400, and I can confirm that they feel amazing and the interior is still in excellent condition. Very good cars. I also get 24 mpg with mine.
@@gigel99324 probably like 70% highway and 30% city. I drive 65 on the highway because these cars unfortunately have a 5 speed auto so after 65 you just start using more gas than needed because it doesn't have a 6th gear. That's the one and only thing they should have changed with this car lol. Needs 1 more gear
You can do a 5 speed manual swap real easy and boost it and they're great. People make these into race cars cause if you strip the interior, you can get it down to like 2,600 lbs and those engines will take 700hp all day long.
@@HierarchyOfWeeds they're freaking ridiculous, course the SC400 is a better chassis with the same power plant and you get get that down to like 2,500lbs or maybe a little less
im not saying SOMEONE hasn't done it but like. ALL of that is wrong. Pre 98 (Ucf10) 1uz has trouble making 500 flywheel hp with stock internals. Need high compression pistons, steel headgaskets. Manual swaps are pretty difficult due to the LS and SC400 never coming with manual trans from factory. Requires lots of adapting, shearing starter gears, clutch pedal fab etc. Also All the weight reduction in the world wont get an LS down to 3200. js.
@@fiskblack3579 I was about to say the same thing. NFS gamers thinking everything is easy because it is in a video game. The work and modifications would easily cost around $30,000.
I got an ES , despite being Front Wheel Drive, its still a joy to drive a lumpy cruiser feeling like a Yakuza/Goodfella, especially when its time for a road trip.
I had a '97 ES300, they're very reliable and have a timeless design (I loved that car, it was basically my first car). I have an '01 IS300 currently, as well as an '04 Camry V6 LE (which drives similar to my old ES and it has the same 1MZ-FE engine). I love Toyota for their sheer quality and reliability over time, you just can't beat 'em.
I own a 1999, white and it is stock. 115,650 miles. On it and yes I had the timing belt done at 115,000 miles w/value cover gaskets. Runs great, the car was a gift from my aunt and uncle. To me this car is a hot rod.
It may be a grandpa cat, but I’ve never heard anyone say they didn’t enjoy them. Reliable (if you do the proper maintenance, it can get hella pricy if you don’t), kinda slow and boat like, but man they’re awesome to cruise to meets
2:06 There are plenty of companies here in Australia making performance parts for 1UZ’s. Most Supercharger manifolds for them are made here and honestly its a shame that they didnt come factory supercharged because they respond so well to boost.
I’m actually about to purchase one that’s barely been broke in at 168k miles with zero mods. Interior looks like nobody has drove in it and I just love it.
Just got a 99 for 2500 with low mileage and had no idea they had such a following. An old neighbor passed away and his daughter was just trying to get rid of it. Maybe when I start financing a new car I'll make it look really nice!
I own a '90 LS400. Great car. I love it. It's big and relatively slow, but if one really wanted to, the 1-UZ motor can handle boost. I don't bother with it. I get in mine, light a cigar, and hit the cruise control. 😎 I do need to buy some wheels......
I bought my 1996 for $3,000 in 2017 only 146,000 on it at the time. Now it has 175,550 on it and I've had zero problems with it. One thing to note, it isn't exactly fuel efficient but it's quiet comfortable and smooth. I plan to keep it as long as I can.
Hey just today I bought the same year one as yours with 72,000 miles on it and honestly idk what to do with it idk if I should change the water pump or etc any ideas what I should do first?
Funny thing: When he's parking he's like "This is a big girl, its like I'm driving a semi" No, no it's not. And I'm not just acting offended, I'm serious. For how big it is, the steering radius of the LS400 is really good. My dad's '99 Camry has a worse turning radius. I can turn around on my residential street and park in one turn, but I can't do that in the Camry. I also never overestimate if I can make a turn into a parking spot or not because I can actually turn hard enough to squeeze in.
Own a 99, got it as a daily, didn’t think I’d like it so much but I really enjoy this car, looks so damn good too! If you’re thinking about it, it’s a solid choice you can’t go wrong :)
What I hate about owning an LS400 is that most owners don't care at all about performance unless it's to drift. They'll just use the stock engine and weld the diff, but nobody does any real performance mods. I really want to push my '95 to 300+HP, but there's just not all that much mods out there. In Australia it seems the 1UZ is more popular for modding, so they have stuff like superchargers that are easily accessible, but not here in the States. In my town I found like 10 guys that all own LS400s or GS400s, but they've just gone the drift route, slam it, straight pipe it, weld the diff, and slide it (not always in places they should be). I want to go a route that nobody else does, and turn mine into a track car. I want to challenge myself, cause it's really not made for the track at all, but I want to see what I can do.
I own a 1996 with 75k miles. As the video mentions mods are mostly cosmetic, mine has exhaust, coilovers, Work Wheels etc. along with VIP interior stuff. Things I hear often are the wiring harness tuck like the video mentions for people going low, I'm low on coilovers but don't have any camber so don't rub on that. Other things I hear people say is that when the power steering pump goes it leaks all over the alternator and kills that in the process due to it's placement. Also I get issues with my RPM gauge/Speedo not working occasionally, this is fixed by giving the top of the dash a thump, although the recommended fix is to get capacitors in ECU/Cluster replaced as these can leak because of age. Hope this helps :)
Nice ride, I like this. LS 400 so much. I ended up with a Gold 92 and a Blue 95. And now owned a Silver GS 300, which I bought & gave to myself 4 father's😁 I get compliments an all of them, I truly enjoy driving them 💯
I had a 2000 Platinum edition that I put over 12k miles on in the year I owned it including a 6k mile road trip and absolutely loved every second of that car. I was averaging 30mpg on the highway too. I had to sell it in a deal to get rid of a motor home I was upside down on but I will for sure get another one someday.
I got a 99 Ls400 with 215k for 2.4k runs like a champ. I want to put it on coilovers cut out the resonator, reverse y pipe, and the first two preliminary muffs. Then wrap it or paint correction. The clear coat is fading here n there but the paint still looks so good for being a 22 year old car
I picked up my LS400 back in june and I friggin love it! Its a white on tan with beige interior similar to this one (Ik the one in the video has grey interior, im jealous). I want to put it on some wheels and coils (or air) but Im just waiting for it to come into the budget. Its been a great car for me to get to and from school.
the 95-97 actually aren't interference either, they introduced VVTI with the 98 facelift and those are all interference. just something to keep in mind when picking one up :)
I’ve owned my 97 ls for almost a year now and still love it to death, haven’t had the money to put wheels n lower it yet but that’s to come soon hopefully 🙏🏽
I love them regardless one unique car. Lexus and Toyota make some wild cars even today with the LFA and the Supra and the corolla GR hatchback that has a 3-cylinder engine and a manual transmission which is very cool. Between Toyota and Lexus incredible cars. The car I adore the most is the Lexus LS 400 it will always be my favorite car and hope to find me one that I can enjoy.
I bought a mint 99 ls400 for my first car and they’re great cars but honestly not a good first car. Pros: reliable, decently quick(5.8 to 60 on a 99-2000), stands out a lot being a big body sedan, comfortable, 1uz sounds good Cons: Hard and expensive to work on, engine bay is very cramped. Basically everything you need to replace on this car is annoying and expensive. Starter is inside the engine, 8+ hours labor, timing belt/water pump will grenade the engine if they break and the job cost about 950$. Some years have very unreliable ecus that cost a very unrealistic amount to fix. Gas isnt terrible on the vvti cars, i get about 24 average mixed city/highway driving. Ls400s are a really good value for the money but be prepared to pay at least a 1000 more in order to get everything fixed up.
Owned my UCF10 for the past 6 years…BC coil overs BBS imitations… Yeah that’s why I didn’t go 2nd Gen 1st Gen is way more robust. Bottom end has heavier rods and non interference…And I just love the 1st Gen cause it’s the only that’s original Japanese design they started to imitate Mercedes’ after the 1st Gen Anyways great vid
I have a 95 LS400 on coilovers with stock wheels at the moment just cuz I feel like they're more comfortable the custom wheels I had on it were too big 20 inch im in the process of getting some 18's but for now I feel like keeping stock wheel shoooo comfortable and feels lighter on the car. Steve's car is nice man the seats are in great conditions must be super comfy however I'm not a fan of airlift and the way the car sits low parked but his car not mines enjoy the beauty of these cars super reliable as well great video
@@andrewb4077 it does at times but I think it also depends on the tires u get some tires u can feel everything some u don't I'm still testing different option but honestly I don't mind the bumpy ride as long it's not too crazy bumpy and also I feel like I already got used to the riding quality of it that I don't even pay too much attention if it's bumpy
I own a 92, slowly fixing gaskets and such but otherwise in very good condition. Just brake layed my rotors an got some nice import direct brakes pads on them, brakes so much smoother, I have a whole new rack an pinion setup, going but bosch quietcast rotors all around it eventually. Then I'll be fixing the wood interior as the residue on the real wood has worn off so they dont stay in their sockets fully flushed. Less than 85k miles and got it for $5800
i bought a mint 99 with 199,000 milesfor 2k about a month ago, i’m so happy with it and yes the only downsides i have rn are the gas mileage which is expected and the small cup holders ive spilt a drink once or twice
I've got a 1992 Lexus Ls400 with original engine and transmission with 281000km on it, still going strong, it definitely gets attention.... Mostly from men though.... 😭
OMG at 2:54 it looks SOOO GOOD! Why do you have to slam it??? A 2 inch drop looks so clean, and if you go static, it's actually usable! I'm tired of seeing all these damn SLAMMED "VIP" LS400s everywhere, that's just not the look for this car! Controversial, I know, but I feel very strongly about this!

i’m getting ready to slam my 430 haha hopefully more kids pick these up and treat them like baby’s and keep the miles off of em they’re gold
Lol they really filmed it in a retirement area. I would love a manual swapped 2nd gen ls
Yall reading my mind. I've been thinking about copping an LS400...
I’ve owned my 97 ls for almost a year now and still love it to death, haven’t had the money to put wheels n lower it yet but that’s to come soon hopefully 🙏🏽
I've got two rust free shells in Wisconsin. both run and drive one has faded paint and no stereo the other is almost complete.
91s
Love my 91 bought it with 80k miles a year ago “chefs kiss” beauty.
For how much
I have a 96 ls400 and its pretty cool, currently sitting at almost 241,xxx
So it’s like a cooler, Japanese grand marquis
I have an S14, but can't really drive it because I have a bad back, but I this is likely going to be the next car I own, if not it'll be the GS300
Hahaha the silent hands off the wheel when it auto adjusts.
I love them regardless one unique car. Lexus and Toyota make some wild cars even today with the LFA and the Supra and the corolla GR hatchback that has a 3-cylinder engine and a manual transmission which is very cool. Between Toyota and Lexus incredible cars. The car I adore the most is the Lexus LS 400 it will always be my favorite car and hope to find me one that I can enjoy.
Rip the ls400 market :’(
97 best year made hands down idc bout vvti
Can y’all do a ultimate buyers guide on a hyundai genesis coupe…👉👈
Is there, by any chance, an episode, for, volvo 240?, Please
I'm so happy I got one before you made a video
I have a black 97 LS400. And it screams
I bought a mint 99 ls400 for my first car and they’re great cars but honestly not a good first car. Pros: reliable, decently quick(5.8 to 60 on a 99-2000), stands out a lot being a big body sedan, comfortable, 1uz sounds good Cons: Hard and expensive to work on, engine bay is very cramped. Basically everything you need to replace on this car is annoying and expensive. Starter is inside the engine, 8+ hours labor, timing belt/water pump will grenade the engine if they break and the job cost about 950$. Some years have very unreliable ecus that cost a very unrealistic amount to fix. Gas isnt terrible on the vvti cars, i get about 24 average mixed city/highway driving. Ls400s are a really good value for the money but be prepared to pay at least a 1000 more in order to get everything fixed up.
I love my 98 gs400. Really hoping to get one of these at some point
Just got a 95 under 200k and new parts for 2000:) love this car
Great deal! What’s the plan for it? VIP cruiser? 👀👀👀 -Edgar
Man watch these prices get even higher imma bee pissed
Owned my UCF10 for the past 6 years…BC coil overs BBS imitations…
Yeah that’s why I didn’t go 2nd Gen
1st Gen is way more robust. Bottom end has heavier rods and non interference…And I just love the 1st Gen cause it’s the only that’s original Japanese design they started to imitate Mercedes’ after the 1st Gen
Anyways great vid
I have a 95 LS400 on coilovers with stock wheels at the moment just cuz I feel like they're more comfortable the custom wheels I had on it were too big 20 inch im in the process of getting some 18's but for now I feel like keeping stock wheel shoooo comfortable and feels lighter on the car. Steve's car is nice man the seats are in great conditions must be super comfy however I'm not a fan of airlift and the way the car sits low parked but his car not mines enjoy the beauty of these cars super reliable as well great video
Do coilovers make your ride super bumpy?
@@andrewb4077 it does at times but I think it also depends on the tires u get some tires u can feel everything some u don't I'm still testing different option but honestly I don't mind the bumpy ride as long it's not too crazy bumpy and also I feel like I already got used to the riding quality of it that I don't even pay too much attention if it's bumpy
best car ever! i drive my ls400 94 every day! so timeless and luxury🤩 thanks for you video 👌👌👌
Funny, he didn't drive the VVTI face-lift...cuz man...its get u there.
I own a 92, slowly fixing gaskets and such but otherwise in very good condition. Just brake layed my rotors an got some nice import direct brakes pads on them, brakes so much smoother, I have a whole new rack an pinion setup, going but bosch quietcast rotors all around it eventually. Then I'll be fixing the wood interior as the residue on the real wood has worn off so they dont stay in their sockets fully flushed. Less than 85k miles and got it for $5800
i bought a mint 99 with 199,000 milesfor 2k about a month ago, i’m so happy with it and yes the only downsides i have rn are the gas mileage which is expected and the small cup holders ive spilt a drink once or twice
Do this with the GS300 please.
I've got a 1992 Lexus Ls400 with original engine and transmission with 281000km on it, still going strong, it definitely gets attention.... Mostly from men though.... 😭
I have a 1990 LS still clean running good here in Vegas only 169k on it!
OMG at 2:54 it looks SOOO GOOD! Why do you have to slam it??? A 2 inch drop looks so clean, and if you go static, it's actually usable! I'm tired of seeing all these damn SLAMMED "VIP" LS400s everywhere, that's just not the look for this car! Controversial, I know, but I feel very strongly about this!
Here i am BACK AGAIN but now with an LS400 back for inspiration and why i shouldnt have bought it xD
Ok.... now you guys HAVE to do one on the late 90’s BenzS500 , BMW 7’s and maybe Cadillac?
I’m importing a celsior rn 😈
The digital instrument cluster in the celsior is incredible. You are going to love it!
I'm gonna go get a sticker for my LS too....... THE GRANDPA CAR 😂😂😂😂
