Faults:

Rear wheel bearings.

Starter motor failure.

Instruments stick at zero until interior warms up.

General Comments:

This car was very cheaply bought because of its high mileage, but it had been well looked after, and is still fast, smooth and silent.

Drivers seat and steering wheel show their age, but overall appearance and functionality are still very good.

The few repairs needed have been expensive, way over the cars value, but if I like it (well, I love it!) then I won't throw it away.

There is no rust, it polishes up well (glass-like dark green) and does 20 mpg daily, 25 on a run.

Faults:

O2 sensor went bad after a few hundred miles of ownership. Cost $23 to fix it :)

General Comments:

Most solid car I have ever owned. Solid meaning it holds the road very well and doesn't have any annoying creaks or rattles. The interior was build well with no cheap plastic.

I just fully serviced the vehicle after buying it, and it rides like a dream; idles perfectly and feels great.

The only thing I don't like about this car is the gas mileage, but I think the good dominates the bad with this car. I know of at least 5 other guys who own this car and they all love it. None of us have ever had any serious problems with it.

I honestly feel like this car is going to run forever. 180,000 miles on the clock and it runs better than any other car I have driven.

Faults:

The lights on the cluster and dash don't work when the headlights are turned on. Eventually they will flash and go on. Lexus says this is a common problem and will be about $1500.00 to repair. Brakes needed to be done along with an oil change which was about $500.00. The seats are a little worn, but it doesn't bother me.

General Comments:

This car is amazing. I had always wanted a Lexus because my parents drove only Lexus. For my 18th birthday I got this LS400. The car is so quiet. Performance for such a heavy car is great. It feels like I'm riding on air. The sound system isn't all that great, but it gets the job done. Having things done at the Lexus dealer can be pricey, but since the previous owner had done every service on time and at Lexus I decided I would do the same. This car will go for another 200,000.

Faults:

Besides normal wear and tear items like tires, brakes, belts, hoses, battery, and wiper blades, the only replacement has been most recently I had the driver's seat bolster leather replaced.

General Comments:

Cabin is quiet, engine is excellent and powerful for a car its size, along with excellent fuel economy of around 23 city/29 highway.

Faults:

Main beam light bulb replaced at 98,000 miles.

General Comments:

For a car of it's size and weight, the LS400 is very quick.

Although the leather looks a bit like plastic, the cabin is an extremely nice place to be.

I like the little things that make ownership such a pleasure.

Such as the fact that the air conditioning kicks in within seconds of starting the engine.

Or, that the rear window starts to de-mist before I have had time to fasten my seat belt and select reverse to back out of my drive.
