1999 Lexus LS400 review from Switzerland
"Please let me know by email at hthuta@hotmail.com or by a comment under this review"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just tested the car today and hesitating whether if it's a wise choice. When I first got in the car, the temperage gauge was hopping as if there was a shock or something... it stopped a few minutes later!!
General comments?
It's extremely smooth... comparing to the BM 7 series that I had before... I couldn't even feel the V8 running under the hood.. acceleration is less violent than in the BM.. that's the point that I loved the most in the 7 series... but to be realistic... what would we do with that much acceleration while traffic lights and speed radars are placed every half a Mile...
It's a 99 and has 60000 miles... the Lexus dealer sells it for 17000$ without warranty and 19000$ with one year limited warranty (engine, transmission, pumps and electronics only)... but what I've been wondering was... does an one year warranty worth 2000$?? Is a car of this quality probable to have reparations of this price at this mileage???
I would really appreciate if anyone could give me some advice on this car!!! Thank you very much for your attention!!!
