1993 Lexus LS400 review from North America
"Will make a great first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The lights on the cluster and dash don't work when the headlights are turned on. Eventually they will flash and go on. Lexus says this is a common problem and will be about $1500.00 to repair. Brakes needed to be done along with an oil change which was about $500.00. The seats are a little worn, but it doesn't bother me.
General comments?
This car is amazing. I had always wanted a Lexus because my parents drove only Lexus. For my 18th birthday I got this LS400. The car is so quiet. Performance for such a heavy car is great. It feels like I'm riding on air. The sound system isn't all that great, but it gets the job done. Having things done at the Lexus dealer can be pricey, but since the previous owner had done every service on time and at Lexus I decided I would do the same. This car will go for another 200,000.
