1996 Lexus LS400 review from North America
"Low maintance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace front end ball joints cost around 500 dollars. Minor oil leak near dipstick cost 100 dollars.
General comments?
This is my first Lexus after many years of driving 3-series Beemers. I am finished with the Germans. My next car will be a late model Lexus.
