DESCRIPTION
2000 Lexus LS400 Sedan
For consignment, a 2000 Lexus LS400 sedan with a title verified 206,062 actual miles. High, you say? Well, sure, but considering that with the right care, they can double that, this one has plenty of life. And thanks to a timing belt change at 180k, you can drive off virtually worry free.
Exterior
Silver paint coats the car in the two stage quality Lexus is known for. Other than the L on the grille, the car is badgeless which leads to a clean decklid over broad horizontal tail lights. Up front, the flush headlights received a slight change for this generation, but still retain the distinct look of a Lexus luxury sedan. Tinted windows further enhance the look along with 18-inch wheels in argent gray wearing 45 series tires. Flush door handles are color keyed to the car and the door frames roll right into the roof where we find a sunroof up above. Overall the paint is good with minimal imperfections noted including large chips in the B-pillar and a scuff down low.
Interior
Quality materials start at the door panels with textured plastics, leather inserts, and wood veneer panel plates and all four doors show minimal patina, a testament to their Lexus\' attention to quality. The black leather bucket seats are large, soft, and also supportive and the driver\'s side shows wear, especially at the point of entry while the passenger\'s seat has a few scratches. Both front seats enjoy power controls. In back, the pleated leather of the rear bench looks good and the seats provide head restraints for three passengers and decent legroom. Wood rimmed arches on the steering wheel show some cracking in the shellac but remains a handsome piece and leads to an electronic instrument panel, lighted and floating in a black background. Wood surrounds the information screen in the center stack and coats the center console and shifter knob with honey colored bird\'s eye maple. There\'s some delamination on the gear indicator panel and the touchscreen is barely legible, but everything else seems to be in working order. Low pile black carpet keeps things clean on the floor while the gray headliner above and around the sunroof is in nice shape. The trunk is finished and lined with gray carpet including a fitted carpeted mat over the entire trunk floor.
Drivetrain
Plastic covers hide the view of the 4.0 liter DOHC V8, rated at 290 horsepower and fuel by injection. It is tied to a Toyota Aisin-Warner A650E 5-speed automatic transmission and power is sent to the rear wheels with 3.266 gearing. As a flagship vehicle, only the best will do, so power disc brakes are found front and rear.
Undercarriage
Remarkably clean underneath with no surface rust and very little road dirt. The dual exhaust comes together then travels down the center tunnel before hitting a Y-pipe before entering resonators and stock style mufflers, then exiting to the atmosphere discreetly behind the rear bumper cover. Independent suspension is found front and rear and have been upgraded with BC coilovers.
Drive-Ability
The smooth running engine and quiet operation belies the mileage shown on the odometer and bodes well for Lexus quality. There are no vibrations or odd noises, no misfires nor rattles. The car runs smooth, tracks well, and handles like one would expect a luxury vehicle to operate. Other than the touch screen not being readable, all other functions worked as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
We hope you follow us on TikTok and while you\'re over there, check out our friend over at Cars and Keys. He owns an LS 400 and extols the virtue of the car a few videos per week and claims \"it\'s the best car ever made.\" And it can be argued that flagship cars produced by Lexus just may be some of the most impressive cars on the road and these early LS models were built to last. Put this one on your list if you\'re in the market, which is suddenly a crowded place now that the secret is out!
