1994 Lexus LS 400 4.0 V8

Summary:

A stately home on wheels for a fraction of the cost, still looks good today

Faults:

Wiper linkage assembly, failed just after I purchased the car, although the dealer did say he had a new one on order, and that the work had to be done. Sure enough, it was done without fuss.

General Comments:

A serious car for the money, makes it an ideal lazy mans/enthusiasts sound second hand buy. Excellent value for money. The main dealer service levels don't stop just because the car is getting older, or second hand. Fuel economy not nearly as bad as everybody expects for 4.0 V8 - approximately 25-30 MPG on a run if you take her steady.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
