What Owners are Saying About the 1999 Lexus LS
"The Greatest Car Ever Built"
"I challenge you to read Chester Dawson -The Relentless Pursuit. I am a car freak. I have an internet car show. I drove in car commercials. I owned a restoration shop and raced in SCCA. I love cars, all kinds. But, this one, this one stopped me from buying cars like kids eat chips. It will run Albuquerque to Las Vegas at 90-100mph and get 25-28 with a full house. Its quiet, fast, balanced, and if you care for it, it will be your sanctuary from whatever you do for a living. As was said earlier, if you can find one, buy it now. BTW: Wifey has 189K on her 1999 LS400. Read the book, this IS the greatest car ever build."
"AWESOME CAR!!!!!"
"Wow I am not sure where to start. This car still feels like it has 20K miles on it. Only real work done to it was the timing belt, water pump, and all the 100K maintenance. Sure some parts may be a bit pricey but they will last you a good 100K-200K miles. I love this car so much she is so quiet on the road and has an awesome stock sound system. She is even fun to ride with that V8 in her. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking at it. Just make sure if the car is around the 100K miles that the timing belt was done. Its supposed to be done at 90K but the previous owners on mine did not do it and I got the car at 120K so I had to catch up on all the maintenance they did not do, but after that she has been smooth."
"most reliable and most comfortable ride, safe,"
"I get 20 mpg in town and 26 to 27 on the highway"
