Hey Guys
I'm new to this fourm but always been a fan of the Lexus LS series. Since it was introduced in 1990 as a North American model. I'm asian so back in 1998 I visited my relatives in Hong Kong with my uncle and aunt. That was when I got my very first impression of a 1994 LS 400. My other uncle owned one in Hong Kong. There were a few differences in options but prettry much the same car in a Toyota badge aka CELSIOR.
As far as long longevity goes my uncle came back to Toronto and not long after bought a 2000. He a real estate agent and drives more then 3 people drive in a year. A few months ago I was by his house to talk and showed him my newly aquired 1993 LS4. He said I got the deal of a lifetime because PO really maintained this LS4 very well.
My 1993 LS4 is only got 265000kms= aprox 164654miles
My uncle's 2000 LS4 is got aprox 789000kms= aprox 4900235miles no major issues besides the normal wear and tear items (alternator, ball joints, battery, belts, radiator, starter, struts, timming belt, tires, rust proofed yearly, waterpump) but he keep up with maintanience mostly done with LEXUS dealer because he writes it off for business. He hopes to get 1000000kms out of it. Hopefully Lexus Canada will take it in and put it on display on a trade for a new LS460L, LS600h or whatever the current model is.
He doesn't drive hard because most of the time he's got clients or family sitting in the back. I think maintainance and how your drive your car will determine how long it will last as well as luck too. I also believe if you are lucky and get a cream of the crop. Not everything is built equal even cars built on the same plant right after each other. So sometimes depends on your luck.
