Stop spending $20K on plastic! CAR WIZARD shows how this '95 Lexus LS400 is the perfect car

the hood struts work so well because the only time the hood ever needed to be opened was for a oil change 😂

Of course the hood struts work. You never have to open it!

The first time I rode an LS400, and the only time, was once when our car overheated and needed to be towed in the middle of a highway. I was 7 with my younger siblings at the time, stuck waiting for help, and a lovely gentleman in a spanking new LS400 pulled over and offered us all a ride while dad stayed back to deal with the tow. I couldn't believe what I was in. I'd been in E classes and Audis. But this was something else. The leather. The character. The lighting. The solid feel. And just this warm gesture from the stranger. Something I will never forget.

My dad gave me his 95 ls400 and it currently has 285k miles on it and it's still one of the best car I ever own in my life I'll never sell this beautiful car.

When the Lexus LS came out, GM bought one, tore it apart and their engineers tried to see if they could build it at cost, they couldn't. I still remember the first time I sat in one, back in the 90's. It was an absolute tank. The fit and finish, how tightly the doors closed. I remember when I closed the door, my ear had a slight pulse from the air tightness. I have NEVER experienced that ever in any other car.

I had to teach my wife not to try to start the car sometimes while it was running. The V8 engine on the LS 400’s are so well balanced you cannot see them vibrate or feel them run. I taught her to look at the tack to make sure. True story.

My Dad worked for a Japanese company for years… the CEO picked him up in the Crown equivalent (brand new at the time) when he traveled… to this day, my Dad claims this is the best car he’s ever rode in, he stated “I was absolutely floored at the ride, quality, and luxury.” The ownership reviews on this thing are unreal. Truly a testament to how amazing they are.

You are right wizard. I have a 1996 lexus LS 400 with 453.000 km ( = 283.000 miles ) and still runs smooth like silk. The best car in my life. I don't want to sell it. I also have a LS 430 and now I have bought a SC 430. Smooth and hard like rocks

I also own a 1995 ls400. I love the car today as much as I did when I bought it almost 17 years ago. It had 80k when I bought it and today it has 192k. I am a senior citizen and have owned many cars over the years and this Lexus is by far the best car I have ever owned. I have no intention of selling. Thanks for the excellent video!

The Lexus LS400 and LS430 hands down, the greatest vehicles ever assembled. I own a 2011 Toyota Avalon Limited that’s almost like them but it’s not because unlike my car, these cars were made in Japan.

After working in the automotive field for 15+ years and retiring I can say this from working on and being a owner of a Lexus. These cars are highly underrated, easy to work on , and reliable than anything in the road today. You cannot find a finer car today . These cars are bulletproof . Everything he said in this video is 💯 l would not ever hesitate to buy any Lexus before 2006 . They are the best cars Toyota ever made and really the best cars made ever.

Older Japanese vehicles are today’s holy grail; easy to service for the DIYer , rock solid build quality and consistent reliability. Not at all surprised to see this Lexus still kicking at 300,000 miles. It will likely keep going past 500,000 , possibly more. 😁

A fun fact about that V8. At the time Toyota wanted to get into the small plane industry and was planning on using that V8 with a supercharger. So because of that it is FAA certified (which helps add to its reliability) and with stock components can take boost really well and reliable.

I just picked up a 2006 LS430, solid car worth every cent.

I have a 2001 LS 430. 260k miles on it and still runs great. So smooth and it feels like it'll never die. Just keep maintenance up on it, and it'll last. I'm shooting for that half million mile club.

If you go to Japan and see how respectful and diligent the people are , you will have a new respect for Japanese made cars . The 4 runner is still made there. Tacoma in Mexico

When a reporter asked Alan Mullaly, (Former Ford CEO and Boeing exec) why he drove a Lexus LS430 before he took the reigns at Ford in the mid 2000’s, he said it was the finest automobile in the world.

My 94 LS400 has 356k on her, interior is amazingly in good condition for the age let alone the miles. EVERYTHING works on it as well, also paid only $900

Absolutely the most comfortable quiet and reliable car I've owned. Besides the seats wearing and ripping over time regular proper maintenance makes them almost immortal.

Got a 2001 Lexus LS430, car is a awesome, still runs smooth as can be!
