FishDawg Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I'm getting ready to buy a used LS. Probably one from between 2001 and 2005. I know sometimes car makers have a dud year. And I want to get a certain level of luxury and reliability. So, which model years are best? What changes (good or bad) were made each year?

cardona6569 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I would get a 1998, 99, 2001, 2002, 2003 or 2005, 2004 had problems with the fuel pump. I wrote the other extra years because they seem very good also, the newest and with no accidents and the one that has the lowest miles that is the one I would buy. Try to buy one that has all the major maintenance if not all maintenance done at Lexus. The changes in the Generations are in the site given by another member. CPR I'm getting ready to buy a used LS.

SW03ES Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I agree, the 2000 is one of the highest rated models ever reliability wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardona6569 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 The only reason I did not mention it was that I forgot. I have no reason to make any bad remarks of the 2000 LS, I have no recollection of any negatives on the said model-year.
