Explore the 1999 Lexus LS 400

My best car, I love it.

I had many cars every type there is. The Lexus 400 is the most comfortable and best performance power. I have ever had I will never get rid of my car. I was offered $23000 for a 1999 elects 400 I told him stick it.

Timeless classic

My second 1999 ls400 I have owned.That was the year I chose for the 40 extra horse power and the last year the the bullet proof Kaizen quality control era.I put over 15k in mine and my first one I hardly did anything to it.They just run and run.The ac is remarkable.I put the cabin air filter and it runs ice cold in 74 setting around 98 degrees in Los Angeles.The summers are hot here and the car just won’t quit.I payed 15,300 with 87k miles on it.It took awhile but I made this car stand out from the reliable beaters out there.It’s mint,it’s classy and it’s mine.No matter if it’s a beater or not.This Lexus will never be a weak link unless you upgrade to the 430 or 460.Stick to the ls400 1zufe engines.These were installed on single engine planes.They invested over 400 million to make the best 4.0 V8 29mpg 290 engine.Sending spies down from Japan to Laguna beach California to see the wealthiest taste they prefer.The s class was the clear winner so they beat that beautiful German car with the 96-99 Sweet spot years to own the best of the best machinery available to the public.

These cars never break down. So Reliable

The LS 400 is the Lexus Grand Daddy. Engineered for superior ride, comfort and quiet. Doors are extra insulated, glass is heavier. This car was so loaded with convenience options I had to read the manual to learn them all. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I purchased from a millionaire.

After First Month of Ownership

The car is in excellent condition. It only had 64,427 miles on the odometer when I purchased it on 9/14/2018. It has a very quiet and smooth ride. Great acceleration. The body frame is tight - no rattling noises.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

This is the best car I have ever owned. The name Lexus speaks for itself. At the age the car is at now, it is still running smoothly. Only had 1 issue which was the original alternator the freaking car came with which is impressive. Classic styling that will never get old. Plenty of legroom for the passengers in the back with very comfortable cushioning on the seats as well. Overall, I wanted this car and it was the best decision I ever made.

A pure joy to own

I recently made my purchase for the 99 LS 400 over the newer 01 models wanting around the same price. I know that mechanically, there is no comparison between models as you get superior quality and reliability in these cars. I just like the slightly sleeker look of the 99 model over the bulky look of the next generation. Great vehicles...a pure joy to own and drive.

Super Reliable Runs Forever

Best Car I've owned..fewer problems than anything i've had. I've had 3. For a car, the LS400 is hard to beat and worth every penny for the amount you get in return. Can't believe they last 20 years and still look new.
