Tony B Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I have had my LS 400 since 1994 and it has been a great car. Since ownership I have had to replace the starter, change out water pump and related items taken off. Also, I the alternator because of the power steering leaking fluid on it. Other than that its been one great car. However, in the past few months I have had problems with the cats and it burning a lot of gas. I will search the forms first to see what I can find out. When it was newer I use to have it serviced at the Nashville Lexus dealer but since it has over 275k on it I try and do most of the work myself. I have experience I'm some areas so if I can help in anyway I will be happy to share. I really like driving this car and although it has a lot of miles and having problems right now I can still put the champange glass on the engine test and I had a compression test done and it was right on specs. Great car.
1990LS400 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Wow! 19 years with the same LS400 sure beats my 13 1/2 years with a 1990 LS400 - passed it to a coworker in 2003 who drove it until 2011. The 93-94 LS400 had MANY features my 90 LS lacked ( http://www.lexls.com/info/lsgenerations.html ) -- more standard equipment and, most important to me, an 8-way adjustable front passenger seat with lumbar support. The 4-way adjustable passenger seat (no lumbar adjustment) was just plain painful for me. I don't know anything about the cats but welcome to the forum.
Tony B Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Sounds great these are great cars. Always drove Toyota which is the same but all I will ever own now is the lex. I hoping to get 2 more years and I getting a new one.
pj8708 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Hi Tony and welcome! You must be nearing some sort of a milestone with that kind of mileage. Some where on the site is a string on how many miles people have on their Lexus. Can't tell you off the top of my head what forum it's in, but just do a search and you'll find it. Let us know if you find a 94' LS400 with more miles. Paul
Lexually Explicit Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Sounds great these are great cars. Always drove Toyota which is the same but all I will ever own now is the lex. I hoping to get 2 more years and I getting a new one. Amazing mileage! Welcome to the club Tony! :D Toyota is the same and then again it isn't. Would you rather pick up your date in a Camry or a Lexus?! ^_^
