warren t claim Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The LS400 is a car that ticks so many boxes for me but I just don't fancy one. Every example I've driven has been sub £1k and felt VERY baggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partridge Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 What I do know is that the LCD screen on some 90’s Lexushhes tend to screw up though. Pretty cheap fix mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willswitchengage Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The ones that frequent ebay have moon-and-back mileages, remember these are built by the manufacturer/brand with the greatest reputation for quality in the industry. Look for models ~5 years older and you'll halve the price, if not more. Be patient and you will find one on LPG for less than a bag of sand, plus I think the earlier models look better.

Doctormop Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Had a 92 LS400 for 10 months, bought it for 800, never put a foot wrong, didn't even have to change a bulb on it, was comfortable, powerful, did everything I could ask of it but just didn't bond with it, not really a driver's car but hard to dislike really.

Spiny Norman Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The LS400 is a car that ticks so many boxes for me but I just don't fancy one. This. It's exactly the type of big plush cheap luxobarge I like, and I've liked the ones I've driven, but they just feel like posh Toyotas to me. Insurance was stupid money when I checked as well for some reason, way more than for a big Benz or BMW. Might still consider one but it would have to be cheaper than that, I'm not that well up on their values but my first thought when I saw that one was 'how much'?????

Luxobarges_Are_Us Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Agree with the above sentiments. They are not even 'posh' Toyotas, they are blinged-up Toyotas. Worse still, classic insurers seem unusually reluctant to touch them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The ones I've driven are great, however they just don't feel 'Special'. Surely the point of buying a car like that is that they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 My brother has an absolute minter, converted to LPG to keep the running costs manageable. He loves it, and I can see why, but I just don't fancy it. They seem like a Chaufeur's car to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Creep Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Really fancy one of these for the winter. Plus it's a cheap b8, so what's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctormop Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 NC mine was not great in bad weather, the winter that I had it was quite bad, we had snow here for almost 3 weeks and it was 'interesting' to say the least on slippery roads,anything over a millimetre of snow or ice and the LS400 makes a damn good garden ornament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we do, at least I'll have somewhere comfy to sit whilst awaiting the recovery truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
