One of the "Greatest Of All Time"

Iconic and one of best vehicles of all time!!! Even with over 344,000 miles, this luxury vehicle still feels near all new as day one.

Pinnacle of automotive Perfection

Everyone says in these reviews that their car is the best car ever- well they're lying. THIS is it. Truly an exceptional accomplishment in automotive production and I wouldn't rather own any other car. Picked up in 2016 with 43,000kms - 86,000 today. Best in class. Pros: Most reliable car ever made. Do a little research and you will quickly find out this is THE most reliable car ever. Everything works, and will continue to work longer than any other car (with regular maintenance of course). The build quality is exceptional. Comfort: Outstanding. The back seat is more comfortable than any other car and I have used it to sleep countless times (lol). Amazing plush seats, high quality Leather (resistant to tears, marks, stains). tons of Features. Pillowy / cloud-like ride quality without the sacrifice of steering/handling. Unnoticeable shifts between gears. Very little outside noise if any. Features: Touch screen, Navigation, award winning Soundsystem, Power everything, gorgeous Leather everywhere, Tons of Cargo space, Efficient AC/Heat, lots of Unique and uncommon Features Performance: V8 gets you where you need to go, and swiftly. Most fuel efficient 8 cylinder engine I know (averaging 22-24mpg). Everything works as it should with efficiency Exterior Styling: Clean, elegant, classy and modest. No overstated, aggressive or in your face styling Interior Design: Very roomy, very comfortable, elegant and classy, very practical and accommodating. Extras: Excellent aftermarket support, very smart and practical design, rare - only seen 2 others on the road, affordable.

Very reliable, super luxury.

Loved driving the LS400 on long trips. No problems EVER. Best luxury car for the money. Highly recommended for a mature driver, it is a great cruiser, not a sports car.

Can't afford the upkeep

NIce car, but you can't get parts anywhere buy Lexus and they are 5 times as much as any other vehicle. You might be able to buy it but you can't afford to maintain it.
