1994 Lexus LS400 review from UK and Ireland
"A stately home on wheels for a fraction of the cost, still looks good today"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
