ralphnewman Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I currently own a 94 ls and have the chance to buy a very nice 2000 with 40,000 miles. Are ther any particular querks for this model year that I should look out for. Thanks in advance. Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Not particularly at 40k miles is really low for an 00. If it has good maintenance records, I'd snap it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 There are quite a few topics on buying a 98-2000 LS which is a highly recommended buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The main "querks" with the 2000 LS400 that I can think of are that the fuel tank capacity is slightly less than the 98-99 LS and it was the only model year of the LS400 in which the "brake assist" feature was included. Like SK said, there have been past threads on this subject. On at least one thread are details of the three "Platinum Series" packages -- all three versions came with 2001 LS430 wheels, different leather, maple wood, CD changer, different floor mats. The non-Platinum versions with the dark wood and standard leather are nice too. (I think I like the standard leather more.) The most basic models - both regular and Platinum - do not have heated seats. HID was an option but I have never heard of a 2000 without it. There were around $10,000 (retail) of options available in the 2000 model year. Looking back, I would not exclude cars with navigation and/or air suspension. Air suspension may not give all that different a ride, but it would probably prevent the rear from bottoming out on deeply rutted roads and inclines when the trunk is fully loaded. Air suspension was an inexpensive option in 2000. The nav is "old style" but Lexus has continued to offer updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
