A Beast!!!!

Words are hard to describe this Beast, this is the best car ive ever owned and i honestly don't think it's any car out there to match it. The smooth ride and the air shock seats makes this car unforgettable and the V8 and the quick response to the foot makes me more in love with the Beast. Ive lined this car up with many and LS always proves itself. I recommend anyone to this Beast.

Great car. Had it 10 years. 107,000 Only issue was a new starter. Just did road trip and got 30.5 mpg. Hits 100 effortless. Stereo is superb. Handling is comfy not sporty

Mercedes S Class vs LS 400

The Mercedes seats are bigger.You can't get the Lexus seat to go parallel like the mercedes seat.The Lexus will reach 130 like you are going 90 but the mercedes feels safer and you don't feel a detached from the road. I like the Mercedes larger steering wheel which makes a real difference at hgh speeds. the LS 400 is virtually maintenance free The interior of S class is much nicer.The cheap sun visors of the LS 400 and head linner are pretty sorry when you look at Merceds even 20yrs.ago The fuel economy in the Lexus is averaging 18-19mpg/city 24-26.9 hwy @75- 85mph The omputer of the Lexus is always off 1-1.5mpg. I still want a newer S class class

I tend to stick to this year because i em had my last one that was totalled by an uneducated driver who rear ended me and had to give my old baby away to a stranger.Itbwas to much to repair so I sadly let her go.This dark blue 83k mile fell on my lap and this one has heated seats and a 4,500 nakamichi sound system and bronze tint.ai replaces the head unit with a double din pioneer with dvd and apple car play ect.. I will keep the original parts except the struts and shocks I replaced with the kyb all around $1,500.Formula one llumar tint 900,all weather mats and new wipers.I will never change the original rims on this baby cause I love the superior ride quality it has with the factory set!Plus they do not look bad to me.I will restore the finish later and have brand new tires perreli avid set that makes hardly any road noise.The carfax history was excellent.The timing belt was changed by the rogonal owner cause he was rich and the stealership he went to took advantage of that.The shifting is better than my wife’s great Lexus 2013 gold es350 shifter.It changes like butter & you can actually get addicted to having the best of the best.He also had a 7k paint job to top it off.Great ride & the Lincoln town car.Certain years & the 126 300d Mercedes is probably the best car ever made in terms of miles driven and quality as well.One in germany they have in a show room that clocked over 2.9 million documented miles.Skme 375k miles are barely even broken in.5 cylinder cast iron Diesel engine.I love those cars but when Japan spent over 400 million to invent this engine & sent spies down to lacuna beach California to see what the rich were driving.It turned out looking like the Benzo hybrid.Gotta give them props for the effort on putting the flag down on luxury instead of just economical car reputation.

Quality,quality and boring

The quality of this car is outstanding. In many ways better than it's German rivals. I have had no problems at all with car. The dealer is the best I have come across. The down side is it is a bore to drive. After a drive up the Oregon coast I turned to my wife and said I'm selling the car.
