Bought it from original owner..ue spent approx ($57,000) and kept up all maintenence records & components. I got it for a mere ($5500) absolute awesome beautiful factory condition paint & leather interior. However, i just had to repair the high pressure hydrolic power steering line. I live in Detroit Lakes, MN and big mistake operating these power steering units for 1995/96 LS400 in extreme cold weather reeks havoc on these 25year old vehicles with their finicky hydrolic power issues such as your PowerSteeringUnits..other than that..its ALWAYS advised to change your oil on these cars atleast by 2000/3000 miles and keep an eye out on your transmission fluid if and when it starts getting even a little slightly brownish...immediately go and get your transmission fluid changed w/filter and Do Not let them ever Power Flush your transmission...it could actually ruin a beautiful thing you were cuŕrently experiencing in an almost flawless shifting. I know cause i indeed have both one owner 1995&1996 Lexus LS400 sedans and also have a beautiful collectors Astral Silver w/grey Leather interior 1987 Mercedes 560SEL (122,000) miles. And a beautiful 1999 Lincoln "Cartier" Town Car (187,000) miles. Reason im bringing up these different car issues is that with the other luxury sedans i have, i can only count on either of my LE400's to quickly get on it when im in a big urgent hurry to get going fast & quickly without them running out of breath and no push back!! I was immediately interested in purchasing this gorgeous 1999 Lexus LS400 to add to my collection but i just noticed this video was done back in 2018..so i know it has to be gone now? (@@)

Second generation LS 400 but tweeked... 1997-2000 Lexus LS 400 Designed through early 1996, in September 1997 a revised LS 400 was introduced for the 1998 model year. Changes were a five-speed automatic transmission, increased engine output to 216 kW (290 hp), with variable valve timing (VVT-i), and an added 41 N⋅m (30 ft⋅lbf) of torque. Acceleration times and fuel economy were improved as a result. The suspension and steering also received minor tweaks to improve feel and handling. Bill...your narration is as smooth as butter, sir.

I would be honored to possess the original example that challenged the status quo of luxury cars. This vehicle delivered fit to finish smoothness that successfully blended the elegance of Mercedes and the performance of BMW. Even though Infiniti rolled the pinball along the trunklines and doors in its commercials, Lexus could balance champagne glasses on its running engine. I think I’d try that too : )

The only thing wrong with this car is the lack of curtain airbags. If they had the curtain airbags or at least the side head protecting side airbags, they could be considered better than any brand new car.

I just got me a 2000 Platinum Series LS 400 out of Naples, via "Bring a Trailer." I can't wait until it arrives! It'll be more 4th LS, and my 2nd of this revision. I've always liked this body better than the body of the LS430. I had a 430 and loved it, though. Trouble free. Nothing like a smooth V8 and RWD.

I have owned several luxury cars in my time like the Lincoln mark and caddy Seville and sts and Chrysler imperial none of them have come close to my Lexus ls400 it’s been the most reliable and best riding quietest vehicle I have ever driven no it’s not the fastest luxury vehicle out there but considering mine now has well in excess of 200,00 and does not use a drop of oil no leaks no burning oil nothing and I can pull down 30mpg at 70 running ethanol free premium gas neither of any of the American ones I had wouldn’t come close to 30mpg and were always needing repair

Good review.. Would appreciate If you start using more cameras fixed on the car from outside while driving giving different angles and better view..

I switched from leasing every 3 years to an 05 LS430 in December, an 05 LX470 in February and want to get my hands on a 98-00 LS400 to complete the collection. Want one so bad lol

Don’t ever sell your 430. It’s a great car. I wish I had kept mine.
