10000 for a 2000 LS?! Wow, that's a steal, in fact I would call it deal of the century! Is there any reason you could get it at such a low price (even w/ the cost of 2500 afterwards)? Did you buy it from a private seller? And you must have very sharp negotiating skills! I mean the trade-in price (per Edmunds.com) is around 14000 for a 2000, and 12000 for a '99. I was looking for private sales, but eventually bought the car from a new car dealer because it had the color I wanted, which is pearl white on tan/ivory. I also like black on black, but already have another car like that, so decided to get a different color. Another combo I would go for is black on tan.

I just bought a '99 LS400 and the brakes do not respond as fast/sensitive as some other cars -- BMW is just the opposite. I was at first a little dissapointed at the brakes on the LS. I'm getting more used to it now but still the brakes do go down quite a bit before you can feel braking.

Unfortunately, I have not. I know of one other person in NNJ who has worked at at a toyota/lexus dealer for 20 years. I don't want to post his info here so I will PM you instead. Also, if you check out either of these, I'd appreciate hearing what your experiences were. Thanks.
Thank you. PM received and replied.
hey 1999ls400, may i ask how much you paid for your car? i'm curious since i bought a nyc lexus with similar issues.....thanx...
Jakemt, I paid about 14500 (not including tax) for the car. Not the best deal around, but it is the color I wanted and there were not that many LS for sale and I got tired of looking. Well, It 's also got the Nakamichi package and chrome wheels which added a little more to the price. How about yours? It seems to me that a 2000 costs quite some more than the 99. That's whay I went with a 99.

Thanks vgb for the info! I'll do my research.
I know you haven't dealt with them. But have you heard of anything at all about how good they are, through word of mouth maybe?

Hi there, finally bought a 99 LS400 with 90500 miles! Need to have some work done, timing belt/tensioner/idler pulleys/water pump/cam & crank seals etc, as well as two front lower control arms.
Anyone knows good mechanics in New Jersey/NYC area that works on lexus?(northern NJ prefered but not big deal) Lower price is good, but not the most important. Honesty and quality of work are the highest priority. I don't think many corner garages have done many timing belt changes for LS400. So would prefer someone regularly working on lexus with adequate experience.
I will consider dealer as well, especially the ones you have had good personal experience with.
Would appreicate any helpful info!
Reputable Lexus Dealer Or Independent Mechanic In Nj, Anyone?

The tires I have are Pirelli P400 touring. Don't feel much noise or harshness, but not sure how they compare with other tires though on the LS. It seems Michelin has a good reputation on this site. Certainly would look into that if I were to get new tires.
