My trusty old 1990 LS - 13 1/2 years of fun!

I purchased the 1990 LS new in early 1990 and kept it until about one month after I bought a used 2000 LS in 2003.

It was unusual in that it had a cloth interior and, for some unknown reason, sat lower on its suspension that other early LS400's with leather. The only options were remote locking, sunroof and floormats.

The sticker price was only a little over $36,000.

The rear sunshade, available in the early LS400 accessory catalog, was purchased for $82 and installed by an independent shop specializing in Lexus. Installation required a huge template for drilling the holes in the headliner and rear parcel shelf. This was a wonderful feature!

The European turn signals were purchased from Park Lane Lexus/Toyota in London - a few blocks from a hotel where we stayed while on vacation. They were professionally installed by a body shop.
