1993 Lexus LS400 Review

In-Depth Review: 1990-1994 [ UCF10 ] Lexus LS400
Corrections:
The LS400 debuted at the Detroit auto show, not Tokyo as stated.
The second-generation LS400 did not initially have the 5-speed automatic or 290-hp rating when it first debuted to replace this car in 1995. Those powertrain updates did not arrive until 1998.

It's literally just me looking at craigslist

Proud owner of a 1991 version. 360, 000 plus miles on the clock. My daily driver. My favorite thing to do is to drive at highway speeds with the stereo OFF while silence.

The 93-94 LS400 styling is timeless, classic conservative design with the wide and long stance that gives it a sense of luxury. We have one of these as a family car and it still runs and looks great with 280, 000 miles. The "thump" when you the close the door is just as solid as when it was new. If you want a more modern/newer LS, check out the 2007-2012 LS400/460. After 2012, Lexus went crazy with the hideous, gaping front grille. Looks like Darth Vader's helmet. LOL

No joke everything he said is facts...I own a 94 and this damn thing just won't break and lord knows I put my foot in it👌

Great review! I thought my ES350 was a great driving machine, until I bought a 2000 LS400. It is all original with 80K miles, best car I have ever owned.

[samcook]

One of the best car reviews I've ever seen. Period. You're really talented at this. I hope you keep them rolling!

[skenendoa]

I just bought a 93 yesterday. I like it more than my exes 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. This is such a clean ride, and the v8 is just superb. Your review was spot on, and thanks for the knowledge!

I have a 1998 LS400 and I fell in love with it time I test drove it. It had 234, 000 miles on it when I bought it about 4 years ago. I personally replaced the timing belt and water pump with my own hands. And I also replaced the entire front suspension on it myself. These cars are not hard to work on at all to me. When I drive it I really don't wnt to get out of it because drives so very smooth.

I have the 1992 model, it's just as great! Best first car I could've asked for. Got it for $1100 dollars, almost in perfect condition

[LSnium]

Hell yeah, these cars are finally getting their attention.

My 1990 LS400 with almost half a million miles, still runs good.

I appreciate your appreciation and detailed video about this car, it deserves every bit, and everyone needs to know about it.

But im ashamed to see these cars get piled up in the junkyard.

[jaycarden]

As a bmw owner I can agree that this car was way ahead of its time

[unique]

This video deserves 1, 000, 000 views. Super funny and informative. Dude, well played.

[fourrings]

dude this makes me want to go buy one now!

Best review on a lexus ever seen. Asphalt n butter lol i own 01 ls 430. Never want anything else ever!

the 1st generation is the best imo. I was lucky enough to come across and buy a 1991 LS400 w 106k original miles off of CL back in 2015. It was (and remains) in pristine condition (rare thing to find on CL). It came equiped w satellite telephone (yea it has a phone inside the arm rest), 6 disc CD changer in the trunk (fully functional 8 speakers total including a 8" sub), a med kit and spare tire changing toolkit. It's been my daily driver ever since. (as of now it has 129k miles). Besides basic maintenance I've only had to replace the power steering pump, the starter (which is located behind at the bottom of the massive engine - a pain in the a$$ to replace), brake pads and 8 spark plugs - which btw were the original ones from factory (!!). Of course I have my own mechanic which gets the job done cheaply as the Lexus dealer charges arm & leg for such jobs. Most of those parts were replaced due to being worn not necessarily fault of production (except power steering pump and temp control display that goes blank - well known issues in these cars). The car remains well preserved, solid and strong and I get tons of compliments on it. You can tell they put a lot of effort and thought in building this amazing car. I LOVE everything about it: the classic box/limo style, the powerful V8 that feels like your're driving a train going effortlessly at 75mph on the left lane of the highway, how quiet and smooth it is, how spacious it is inside, large trunk, the quality paint job (mine is the 2-tone pearl white w grey bottom and it always has this glossy sparkle to it even when i go months w/out washing it) and of course the reliability (pple dont believe this car is 30 years old), overall quality of construction and the amazing history/nostalgia of how this car came about to define one of the best luxury brands in the world. If i even aquire Lambos, Ferraris etc in the future this car will remain my favorite one.

[juniorafrica]

Great if not the best review of the 1st gen LS400 ever! Thanks for this.

[ZipTiePros]

Very nice review. Got my eye on a 95 right now. Has 110k miles and seem very well kept. Can't wait to go see it and hopefully buy it!

[odingnarles]
