I love my 97 Lexus Ls400!It handles great,is comfortable driving on long &short rides, parts are cheap because it's a Toyota, the leather is like new for a 23 yr old car, everything works,safe with side& front airbags & handles well in all conditions with traction control.. It'll go for a long time.Btw, one can use regular gas&a gas cleaner once every two thousand miles & it'll still run new.I've had New BMWs,Jags, Range Rovers& other luxury new cars but the 97 Lexus Ls400 is the best &turns heads.. Can't go wrong with an Ls400 from 97& it's 2020!!!!!
A Legend...

I purchased this car from my brother 3 years ago. It's got 200k miles and every time I put it on the highway, it has already paid for itself. I got 500miles from a full tank! This car is classic. I only hate I didn't get a 99 with the xenon headlights. Still is so quiet and smooth you think it's not even running. Someone is constantly trying to buy it from me. I can't wait to try the LS430 or LS460l

The LS 400 is the smartest used car buy.

I have owned a lot of vehicles, but this vehicle is one of the finest machines ever built. The ultra smooth motor and trans., the unmatched suspension, tight lack of rattles and almost no wind noise until you hit 100 mph, the engine is just barely past 3000 rpms at this speed and the car just cruises like that is a normal everyday speed. This is automotive excellence at it's finest. At this point in the life of the car, its depreciation almost levels off compared to most cars in this category, that lose 3-6000 in value annually, look at the prices for 94, 95, 96 they are very close. So when reselling you still have some money left. You will not regret the purchase of this car

This is Japan's flagship car made to compete with Benz and BMW. It really is all out luxury. Take care if it and it will take care of you.

UPDATE. Sold the car in 2006 for $6,000 at dealer's auction with 120,000 miles, since 2004 review 1) crack opened up on top of dashboard; 2) electrical components in dashboard failed interior remittently, needing complete replacement eventually per Lexus dealer; 3) scraped drivers door on garage pillar, requiring $1,500 repairs and replacement of metal wainscoting, which being shiny new did not match the weathered texture on the other 3 doors and stood out like a sore thumb. Replacement on the other doors would have cost another $2,000 est. Very costly car, did not hold up as expected. Originally purchased from auto broker with 45,000 miles for $35,000. I expected car tp hold up better.
