1998 LS 400 reviewed by first gen LS 400 owner

My friend Joe (who owns a 1990 Lexus LS400) drives my 1998 Lexus LS 400. We talk about the similarities and differences as well as the common things to look for when buying one.

Just got mine ;) I get 19.1 in the city and 28 on the highway. Got a heck of the deal and only has 90k miles, got a long way to go. These cars are legendary!

Big time congratulations! You’re going to love it!! Make sure to use OEM parts and fluids whenever you can and she’ll take good care of you.

The LS400 was rigorously tested in Germany on autobahns at 150mph! Here in the UK it's rare to be able to really give these cars The Beans; but it's very satisfying when you do. I think they handle exceptionally well; just when you think it's going to let go on a hard corner - they don't! They hang on like glue! I have a '97 and a 2006 GS300, the GS gives better fuel consumption - slightly - but both cars are real fun when you're feeling adventurous. The UK gallon is larger than the US gallon, so figures differ because if that. However, at 75mph on a motorway, my LS400 gives around 35mpg. I'm happy with that...and of course, I'm driving what, in my opinion, may well be the best all-riund luxury car ever built!

I have a 1998 Lexus ls400 and my rack and pinion went out and I haven’t been able to drive it for a while. Before I knew what it was I knew there was something wrong with the front but I wasn’t exactly sure

[@TheDrivenDave]

Hopefully you can get it back on the road soon. Shouldn’t be too tough a job to do

My ashtray is the same, fiddly to close.
