Thinking of getting this as a first car
Not a bad choice for a first car. I wanted one of these when I was a senior in highschool when they were new... It only took me 28 years but now I have one! The white one in this video is mine.
Super worth it man! So much the love about this car!
Love your choice of wheels Bro.👍
I put those on several of my cars in Forza Horizon.😆
I got one 4 months ago, get pre purchase inspection😂 but I’m in love with it. The way it ride is so smooth and unique, and the seat movement makes driving either fun or relaxing your choice. You can drive like a grandma and feel like a gangsta, or give it some gas and make your friends heads hit the seat.
One of my favorite cars to travel on because in that!
Nice video. I have a 2000 LS400 with 276k still mint. I bought it at 136k and I do all my own work on it. I'm hoping we both make it to a half-million miles.
as long as you keep up with maintenance, I don't think you'll have a problem with that! If you hit it, come back and let me know Someday, it would be so sick!!
best ls400 vid in a while man, love the energy
thanks so much man!!
Loving the educational videos!! You definitely should make a car history series.
Thank you really! We just filmed a 2005 Saleen mustang today! it’s a new series I’m working on about focusing about the facts and history behind individual cars!!
Love this video no other videos like it that I could find!
Thank you homie!! I'm super excited to hear that you liked it! Took a bit of effort but was thankful to get all 3 of these cars together!
So proud of the hard work you put into this one🤍 and I need one of these cars!! 😮💨
I know it!!💜
Yea you do! Get the one from the link I sent you this morning!
@@adamkalenderian3693 We are definitely considering,
Great video of all three generations of the LS400…thanks for sharing 👌
Thanks so much! This is one of my favorite videos to film!!
@@JapaneseMinitruck what’s your thoughts on doing a video on the first and second variants of the LS430?
I totally would! Unfortunately, I just don't know anybody with one currently
Finally jumped on my first! Love it
thanks man!!🙏🏻🤙🏼
Lol it is running extremely rich I still love it but I need to fix that
Was looking for a daily and this video just confirmed it
to this day, I would still love to buy an LS400, amazing cars!
I got a 96 ls. It's a tank. Cool vid 😎
Thanks man! I really appreciate it, and also, that’s sick Man! You can never go wrong with an LS 400!
The Mk1 was UCF10, facelift Mk2 was UCF11
Then the Mk3 (new body) was UCF20, Mk4 UCF 21
LS430 was UCF30, and so on.
yessssssir!!🤙🏼
Actually one thing I wanna point out is, they didn’t all come with a 4-speed, after 1998 they all came with a 5-Speed. Not a huge deal, but just wanted to point that out🤷♂️😂
Very cool to know actually, I did not catch that in my research! Haha
The celsior also comes with reclining rear seats heated also
Whattttt they got the hook up on that model! Hahaha
Awesome to see all three versions of the legendary LS400 lined up together.😍
My Mother has driven a 93 LS for the past six years, and I have had the pleasure of owning a 2000 LS for just over a year now. We cherish these automotive masterpieces and are never parting with them.
I must correct you though, the 95-97s only had 260 hp with a 4 speed. Only the 98-00 had 290 hp with a 5 speed. The difference is noticeable when you drive the two and compare.
Anyway, I appreciate the vid.👍
Peace to all the Lexus lovers worldwide.🌎
1UZ for life Y’all.🔥☝️🔥
That is super cool to hear!! I’ve been in love with these cars for a while! I think they’re just a little slept on by the car community, majority know what it is, but there’s still a lot of people out there that I’m sure don’t know what makes these cars so great! But thanks for sharing your story man and I appreciate the feedback!
Just got my 00 LS400 Emerald Jade Mica. I wont part with it! Great vehicle engineering!
It really is!! I'd love to own one myself someday!
@@jacksinsel8798 congrats on joining the LS community Bro. I love that jade mica colour. Cherish it Buddy.👍
So cool saying all those versions of the LS400 I'm actually looking into buying a Lexus LS400 1990 as my first car and modifying it as my dream car I recently been into the LS400 like about a year ago
Super worth it man! My friends love them, and so do we!!
@@JapaneseMinitruck thanks man do you know any body kits for it
Sadly I don’t
A few small details in their specs were incorrect, but otherwise a very entertaining video man 🙏🏿
thanks man!! it's an older production for sure! i've learned alot since this vid!
need that 95s exhaust setup asap
i'm not toooo sure, he had a friend custom put it together if i can recall, i'll try too ask him soon! if you don't hear back from me comment here again so i see it!
Still driving my 92 UCF10 on BC springs I’ll never sell it. 😂
Love to hear it!!! They’re such awesome cars!!!
I have a 94 LS 400 just like the first one
that's so cool! I would love to get one someday and do something crazy to it!
what size rims are on the ucf 21?
unfortunately, I am not too sure, his insta is endlezz_ls400 though!
Man I’d fuckin kill to find a nice prestine one like in this video and own it most beautiful car ever
I know it sucks seeing them go up and value only because one of the best parts about these cars is they're such a gem for how cheap you can come across them. Sometimes, this is the car I could drive contently stock and just enjoy it the way it is!
I need to buy a reliable car from 5 to 10 grand. I'm looking at the LS400 or the ES300 all-wheel drive. I can't decide
I would totally go LS400, the ES might be a little cheaper, but the LS is just so cool especially given the fact that it has the one you see in a couple cool luxury options, the ES all wheel drive, though I guess would be cool, especially if you live in the state that has snow, I didn't realize they made an all-wheel-drive ES!
First generation is heavier metals used in their rods and pistons. Also first generation is “non interference”. So if a timing belt snaps no big deal. The biggest Con of owning these cars is pray the Starter doesn’t die on you…a plus is the fuel pump is located behind the rear seat. ✌🏽
Great to know! Thanks homie!!
Any pros on the later models?
@@viczvapo yes the 95 to 97 came with a wider wheel base and a better air flow meter (hot wire) the 89-94uses a optical Air flow meter which is problematic I’m always trying to grab a couple for spares. To me these were designed to look like a Benz but the OG first model is a Japanese Design. 98-2001 was then they added the VVTI which increased horsepower from 260 up to 300 HP. These cars are built to cruise on the highway. And they are solid at high speeds. The first generation is the lightest chassis.
All models have the 1UZ but if you get 95 and up be sure to check the timing belt. Those are all interference motors. Only 1UZ from 89-94 were none interference.
95-97 they changed the head and the clearance was reduced so it became interference. Also they used lighter rods and pistons…Only the OG is over built sporting forged internals which the bottom end can take up to 800 hps. Also has a 6 bolt main. Phenomenal piece of machinery on my opinion.
@@BasketballAve thanks a lot for your response. I want to do some additional research, thanks for the inspiration on this knowledge, didn’t know it was that extensive differences. I’m most curious about the “over built” piece as I’m making a purchase on a ls400 from 2000. Hoping with all the maintenance that it can also uphold the first generations. Planning on keeping it long term, minor regular maintenance, that it’s not an expensive car to have. Thanks a lot for your response.
@@viczvapo for sure the 2000 model is more horsepower but you do have to maintain that timing belt. But definitely a great ride that’s my other favorite model other my first gen. I was torn between the 2 what made me get this one was the non interference and over built bottom end. For sure a great ride.
Cool video but the budget to create the LS was 1 Billion , 400M was for marketing alone
😳😳😳
Dude looks like Ronnie from JS
idk who that is 😅😂😂
lol google Ron from Jersey Shore
I call it the LONG SHLONG 400
😂😂😂
