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.
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.
I had the same problem with the dash lights, but found a place on ebay and sent it to them and now they work fine. I am the original owner and have put 220,000 on this car with no major problems. I didn't drive this car much when I first bought it. In 2000 when I started driving the Lexus more it had 96000miles. I drive around 350 miles a day say most miles are highway. Car is great overall, the seats could be a little better.
