JimmyD Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Whoa. I wasn't expecting them to make one. I have a Autoart 98 GS400 and this one seems to have even more quality. I used to collect 1/18 cars and still do to some extent, but $76.00? Is that the new trend or am I just getting older? Looks nice though. but still overpriced, no matter the quality.

Looks nice though. but still overpriced, no matter the quality. ← I have every 1:18 scale lexus made. That price is high because it's very new...it will go down next year i'm guessing. Right now you can buy the gs400 for around $49.00 It used to be that price when it first came out.
JimmyD Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Really? I got the 1/18 GS4 when it was $55 in '01. I would assume it came out in 98 or 99 right? And I also try to collect most Lexus 1/18 cars. Here's what I have 1990 LS400 1998 GS400 2001 IS300 2000 RX300 2001 LS430 2002 SC430 Am I missing any or is that all they make in 1/18?

I converted the GS400 to 430 by changing the rear tail lights, added an sc430 steering wheel with personally added dark wood grain and a new shifter knob.
SW03ES Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Where did you get the 2001 LS430? I've never seen one.

JimmyD Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 http://www.diecastmuscle.com/store/Makes/Lexus/MX73128SR Word of caution: the quality is poor. Considering the price, you get what you pay for it. But if you are a Lex fanatic, I don't think you would mind much because this is the only company that makes them. Edit: and according to that site, looks like they're going to make an AutoArt IS350 1/18 car as well! No pics yet though.
LexKid630 Posted October 11, 2005 Author Posted October 11, 2005 Yes the LS430 is poor quality and so is the "1989" LS400. <- it says it's a 1989... The LS400 is made by Road Tough and i bought it on ebay for $8.00 last year.
