Positive Review
Lets just do a walk into the history of this car. My mom first bought this car in 1991 and drove it everyday on the highway to get to work or to go out. After 250000 miles in 2000, it was turned over to my older sister and she used it from 2000 to 2005 just about everyday and did not take care of it, but it still worked just fine. Then in 2005 at 320000 miles it was turned over to me and I had to fix small things, but nothing major. Drove it to un'till 2007 and at about 360000 I was in an auto accident were a guy ran a red light and totaled both cars(his was a lifted up truck). But here is the kicker, not only did the airbag work, but the car saved my life because the car has a steel-frame and stopped the guy's truck from pushing the engine futher into the windshield. How. Because his tires bounced off the steel-frame, causing the whole truck to bounce backward. Hows that for a car?

Critical Review
The interiors are good and seats adjustable, what most I like is the power of the engine and commodities of luxuries. I will recommend this car because I enjoy driving it! this car works great! and on 2013 still original almost all the car no fixing problems only what I didn't like is the expensive maintenance and expensive labor to repair anything!

Very reliable, family bought the car new and had been passed down. No major issues, just routine maintenance
V8--if you like them! Smooth ride. Safe car. re
V8s require premium gas. Needs minor cosmetic rep
It has new computer, fuel and water pumps replaced within 10 years. Drivers door handle, passenger side mirror, front spoiler undercover all need repair or replacing. Been inside away from weather. Paint still in great condition. Low mileage for age.
This is a great car and I bought it with 200k and currently it has 290k after six years and still run strong. Preventive maintenance, no breakdowns, very reliable and a tank in the snow. V8 does 150+mph!!
Other than engine, getting close to a new car

Purchased the car on July 13th this year. Second day of ownership, passenger side brake caliper hose ruptured. I repaired it. Fifth day, drivers side brake caliper hose ruptured, I repaired it. Tenth day, passenger side wheel moving. It was slapping the rear fender well, then it would slap the front fender well. Since I was 30 miles from home it was a $175 tow bill to my local mechanic. Upon inspection, passenger side ball completely destroyed as well as the upper control arm. Drivers side ball joint also bad. So let's see. $1500 purchase price, two brake caliper hoses $53 plus my labor time, $175 tow bill and $763.63 for front end repairs. That totals $2706.63, not in the KBB ball park. Please everyone wish me luck. One more repair issue and it is going to the crusher.
Smooth ride, excellerating power, classic styling
I admired this car when it first came out, but couldn't afford it. I was fortunate to buy my '93 from an older couple who had bought it new and only drove it while visiting their summer home! Its in perfect condition. Its expensive to have work done on it, but repairs have been minimal.
it's a joy to drive.
Glove box too small.
I love the looks and quality of this vehicle. Very comfortable and quiet. Gas mileage is not that great but I was not concerned about the best mileage. I was more concerned with power and comfort. I got both and more. It even has a volume knob to adjust the loudness of beeps when arming and disarming the factory alarm.
Great MPG, Luxury ride
Lexus maint. is expensive.
Got it CPO as a lease return with 35K miles in 97, have put almost 400k more on with almost no problems. Still out accelerates anything else on the freeway without having to downshift. Smooth luxury power. Gets over 20 mpg in city.
my favorite very stong take off
my license suspended is the only reason
The ride is great, suspension is very solid you fell nothing underneath, but It does need a brake line and a hot battery its a 93 ls 400 you didn't have it down far as the year
