Outstanding vehicle for age. Ride, comfort, handling and fuel economy unbelievable for 13 year old car. I bought this a year ago with 130,000 miles and now have 180,000. Had to replace entire steering system (rack, lines & Pump), A/C pump went out too and had to retrofit to get rid of R12. But got a warranty that paid for most of repairs. The rest is routine maintenance. 27 mpg on hwy.
163K & still running

Garage kept 91 LS400. Paint is flawless with the interior being just as nice. 16 year old vehicles usually find the scrapyard by now but not this one! I have had the A/C compressor go out, and a couple leaks (power steering pump & manifold gasket) of which I've not invested the funds to fix. Dealership quoted me $1900 for the A/C compressor. "I'll do without". Friends have mentioned how comfortable a ride it is, and I'm not one to argue. Gas gauge is funny as the vehicle seems to run as if it were out of gas although the gauge is still showing 1/4 tank?? All in all, this vehicle "hooked me" into becoming a future Lexus owner. It will definitely be hard to drive anything else now.

I have to admit after my mother's ES 300 hit 190k I started taking notice how reliable these cars could be with proper maint. I was a Honda/Acura buyer for 5+ years but when I drove my friends LS 400 I knew I had to get one. I found a 91 with 130,000 miles that was almost flawless, interior looks new if you can believe it. Car drives like a dream,very, very, very powerful 250 HP engine but it takes the premium gas. Would buy another in a heartbeat.
Great buy in used cars!!

I bought mine in 1996 and have just past 100K. I have only had to replace an alternator and one ball joint. Engine is as smooth today as new. Plenty of power and 20+MPG. Most people are shocked to hear that the car is 11 years old. As tight and as quiet as new. Now if I can only find a 2000 LS 400 with about 20K...
The best thing to come out of the 90's

I bought this car on the suggestion from and friend, and it was the best free advice I had received in a long time. I purchased a black Jade Pearl with Ivory interior with 140,000 miles for just over $7,000. The car runs and drives like a 2002, and that is no exaggeration. The interior and exterior components are obviously of the highest quality, put together with exacting detail and precision. The greatest thing, every friend that has seen and gone for a ride in the car guess that its age is no more than 6-8. Surely a compliment for a 13 year old car.

Had this car for almost 5 years now. It has been the dream car and I had no complaints. I've driven this car all over the country. This car has been reliable. I've put over 100k in 5 years. Parts are outrageous. The last year has been a nightmare. It started wearing down. One thing brakes after another. AC Compressor $1200, Power steering pump & Alternator $800, 2 rear calipers $348, new brakes, rotors $900. Over $3,000 in the last year. needs new struts and shocks. $1200. Don't get me wrong I'm in love with the car. For the year it's a great value. And the quality of materials. Interior looks great, no wear no tear. I know it will give me another 100K if I fix it, But is it worth fixing?
Makes you feel like somebody...

Very nice car for the money ($9,500...2/02). Smooth, fast, tight, roomy luxury feel, 120 MPH is nothing to this car. With only 81,000 miles and still decent design, most people think it is a more recent year model. Past owners problem areas have been power steering and air conditioning. Rated very reliable but if something does go wrong expect to pay 2-3 times the normal price to fix.
suspension/ride problem

2d owner at 58k; great ride until 125k when after tires replaced, suspension hardened;dealer advised that $5k (ball j oints, bushings, tighten engine mounts etc) to repair. car maintained regularly and mainly highway miles; advised that Lexus finding this problem in 1991 LS400 now. Will keep car but it is a rough ride.

This car is unbelievable. I bought it used at 129000 miles and it is now over 150000. I haven't had any problem so far. The ride is so smooth and quiet. The engine and the transmition responded well when you need passing power. At 150000 miles I think this car will last me at least for another 50000 miles without a sweat.
What's the fuss all about?

Everyone seems to be raving about their LS's. Why? I don't know. I've had problems with mine. Maybe someone treated it bad before me. Whatever the case, it has problems. The A/C doesn't work, the power mirrors don't work, nor does the display for the temp/time. The switchgear assembly on the driver door broke, as did the wood trim plate on it. The car does have close to 150,000 miles, but I thought Lexuses went forever. It does have good points. It does ride decent and is fairly quiet, though interior room is tight for my 6'6" frame. The paint is exceptional and it is squeaky clean inside (including the engine housing).
