1995 Lexus LS 400 consumer reviews

I?m getting rid of my 2017 Honda Accord with sensing, and I wanted a reliable car for which I could pay cash. Enter the 1995 LS400 with 140,500 miles. When I bought it I knew the dashboard needed replacing as it wouldn?t light up. $464 to replace (had to do it to get odometer to light up and this get it registered). There are a few minor age related things that will require fixing, but the mechanic says the engine and transmission are as if it was when it drove off the dealers lot in 1995. There are no squeaks or creaks, the leather is in perfect condition, no cracks in the dash, the air runs cold, all the luxury items work except for seat warmers work. I?m hoping this isn?t just temporary, but by all accounts I?m feeling secure!

I'm the proud owner of 3 Lexus vehicles a 94,95,and 03 LS430 but for some strange reason I seem to prefer the 95 400 over the others especially the 430 when it comes to ride and smoothness and serinity of the cabin this thing is almost like being inside a tank on a serta mattress feeling very little road noise it's seems to be better insulated from it and it's the only brand I trust when traveling long distances on those lonely highways in the boonies especially seeing so many other brands DOA on the side of the road dead and the angst and disgusted owners it gives me sense of relived mind knowing I made such wise choices in buy these Japanese land yachts that have out lasted and continues run better than a lot of the latest cars on the market today and that they spend more time on the road than in a repair shop and that's good for my wallet any day in.my book !!!

Driving the 1995 Lexus LS400 is like driving no other.I bought my '95 LS400 on May 26th 1998 and still driving it today.It had 39K miles on it when I bought it.The most comfortable car you can drive.I drove mine from mid Ga. to Gadsden,Al and wasn't even tired when I got there.And loved driving it back. I've had some minor problems with it which is normal for having it this long.But over all,I can't complain.My driver window messed up and am having to replace the rack & pinion and power steering pump but the car has about 230K miles on it which is still low miles for a 22 year old car and under average miles.I've had two accidents in it,not serious and the car is still driving. My 2nd accident,I was so lucky and The Good Lord being with me.I almost hit a phone pole and some pine trees when I went off the road.I got choked on my coffee and started coughing then couldn't breathe and almost passed out.My eyes were closed and couldn't open them when I was choking,went off the road and didn't know it 'til I stopped.I barely tapped a tree in front of me.The coffee had gone down my windpipe. That's why the rack has to be replaced and the steering pump.I hit a culvert and did a General Lee up in the air.I have to get the driver window fixed and the power buttons for the windows to work and the locks.But other than that,she's still rolling right on down the hiway.And I don't plan on ever selling her.We've been through a lot together over 19 years. The car did a great job protecting me in both accidents.Both times,my seat belt was in use.On May 13th 2014,I bought another one.A silver 1999 LS400 with 111,383 miles.Now it has only 135K miles.Not bad for a '99.I may be fixin' to buy an 2003 LS430 soon and sell my '99. I've had about 8 or 9 Lexus's since 1997.The only reason I buy a Lexus is not to show off but because of my back injury in the Army in Vietnam('68-'69) and Ft. Campbell,Ky in 1976.The lumbar support in the driver's seat is so awesome and comfortable on my back.The seat is the reason I can drive long distances and not get tired.The best car that has ever been made in my opinion.The engine and transmission is second to none.

This car is a hidden jewel of the past. The air conditioning compared to cars made today is amazing. Driving in the south, this is a must, and will make you feel like its the middle of December when 105 degrees out. I can't express how much I love this car here so I'll let it speak for its self.

I loved this car, I did not own it very long as it ended up needing ball joints and I decided to trade it in. Other than that It was great, smooth riding, powerful, and above all luxurious. I would definitely recommend it.

I have always been a fan of this vehicle so I bought one after I wrecked my GS. One of the issues that I had was having the ECU repaired. My only other issue was that there should have been a garage door opener and I hated the gas tank being on the passenger side. Other than that, I give it two thumbs up.

My mom and stepdad bought the car (1995 Lexus LS400) new, and I acquired it in 2001. It has 150K on it. I've never loved a car like I love this one. It's been kept up and has been great. New starter, new battery 2x, timing belt, brakes, but no new major parts needed. My mechanic says it should go at least another 150K. He said the interiors of the comparable Mercedes and BMWs fall apart with this kind of age, but the Lexus interiors don't. And that's true. Used to live in California and when driving the Grapevine pass from SF to LA my prior cars (Plymouth, Olds 98) all used to struggle. But the first time I drove it in this, I was like, "That was the Grapevine? That was it?" One time I had to brake as hard as I could and swerve violently to avoid a collision, and the ABS worked great and although the rear end slid, as soon as I let up on the brake it lurched back on track. As a tall woman, I find the driver's headroom a little low. But I'll never give up this car.

I bought mine used with 109K and I now have 179k and nothing major has gone wrong. Car is quiet and comfortable and I have gotten as much as 27 mpg on long highway stints. LOVE IT!

i bought this car because i liked the way it looks. CLEAN CUT.....with about 90,000 miles on it. i now have over 250,000 and i am still waiting for something to break or go wrong. i mean nothing. .... and i know the car will do over 150 miles per hour. the new ones can't do that so was this car an expression of engineering excellence or what. I HAVE CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS AND THE BATTERY TWICE AND STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. GUESS WHAT NO TUNE UP EITHER JUST SYN OIL. MY NEXT STEP IS TO BASIC OVER HAUL (TIMING BELT , PUMP, & FULL TUNE UP ) AND DRIVE ANOTHER 250,000

bought the car 1995 ls400 last year , why? oh why?after 17 years of florida heat and humidity reaked havoc on belts hoses boot etc spent $4000 so far . Not the cars fault but relealize there is a lot of expense to a car this year . Wish I could have afford it when it was new.
