Hello all,
I am looking to purchase a family car that will be driven by my wife. We have 2 kids that are almost 2 years old. I am looking at the ls400 because it looks like a safe car that is big enough for the family. I have also heard nothing but good things about reliability.
First I would like to ask if they are as reliable as I have been hearing?
Next I am worried about maintenance costs. I have called a couple lexus dealerships and found out that the cost of an oil change is $50 and that standard service (like the 90,000) can cost up to $2000.
I guess I am just confused and wondering why I shouldn't just buy an accord or camary? They are about the same price and will have less miles on them and I would assume a little bit less in everyday costs.
The bottom line is that I absolutely LOVE the ls400 and I just don't want to regret the purchase. I am looking at a 1996 with 95k miles for $9500. It is in great shape with all service records kept and it is a 1 owner.
Any information that you could share with me would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing your feedback and if I buy the car I look forward to being a regular on the site raving about how much I love my car.
Thanks Again
