Ugh, the worst. btw, I think I devaju'd, it's like I've already seen that or something ;)

[@350zlover2]

These LS vehicles are extremely popular on the East Coast! I do hate how some people make the vehicle look so tacky by lowering it and putting stupid stickers all over it. Keep them stock and clean. I personally love the gold emblem on the Lexus vehicles.

[@YungSteambuns]

I'm a big fan of the gold badges as well, got them on my gs400 👍

[@believeinmatter]

Lexus makes some seriously underrated cars. Everybody knows the LFA but they made some clean azz four doors

[@alexlarson2466]

Not really underrated, pretty well known they were among the best engineered cars ever made

[@StraightClippin]

Lexus never been underrated lol

[@CockatooDude]

@@StraightClippin Maybe a little in the days when Clarkson's opinions rang strongest. He famously despised the LS400 and many people just took his word for it.

[@gondolagripes1674]

I would honestly prefer to have one of these totally stock as just a nice daily that won't break. No mods, no nothing. Just a nice v8 rwd car.

[@350zlover2]

Agree, but I would add some nice custom wheels and maybe tint the windows. These are classy vehicles.

i’ve wanted an ls400 for the LONGEST time, finding one that hasn’t had the muffler cut off or the diff welded is ridiculously hard. finding one with a black interior is even harder 🥹

One day I was in the highschool parking lot about an hour after school, waiting to be picked up by my mom. I suddenly hear a absolutely thunderous V8, and see 5 senior kids, windows and sunroof open, blasting rap and roaring out of the parking lot in a mint white and gold 89 LS400 at easily 90+ MPH. Those idiot kids were the coolest people ever to 14 year old me. Still have no idea who any of them were to this day

[@boostedcrxvids]

I never thought I would see a riced LS400!

[@CollectorCarFeed]

Man you haven't been looking, it's like half of them now

[@350zlover2]

Everyone loves them where I live! Lexus in general is popular! Drug dealers customize them and young people want to lower them and put loud exhaust on them!

[@lsd4free723]

@@350zlover2 yea idk I usually agree with these guys but the one they were saying was super ugly and rice, idk I’d buy it wrap it a gloss black, throw on some satin six spoke wheels or 5, and then I’d probably make the blinkers clear and maybe taillights and new oem headlights or aftermarket headlights. I think it would be sick and it’s sick out here in the west coast, I think it’s cuz theyre from the east coast. It wouldn’t be my only car but definitely has taste.

[@350zlover2]

@lsd4free723 Lexus vehicles are big on the East Coast as well. In my city, the young guys that try to look like they have money or style drives Lexus, Mercedes, BMW or Audi. If they are not driving luxury then its Chargers and Challengers! I think it's a status symbol for alot of people.

[@eddiethetruhead]

Yesss Y’all! Thank you for doing an LS vid. I’m a proud owner of a silver two tone 2000 LS400 with 160k miles. On coil overs with gold 18” BBSs for winter/spring and 20” chrome 5 spoke Dubs for summer/fall. I also take care of my mothers 1993 LS400 with 100k miles that she still drives daily. Both of em rust free.👍 We cherish these Japanese automotive masterpieces and plan to keep them rollin as long as we can. 1UZ for life.☝️ Peace CCF.

Had a clean black interior 99 LS400 for $4500 slip from me 4 years ago and I still think about that

[@CockatooDude]

Dang I was gonna say I really like the gold badging on 90's Lexus'. It's very... period. Reminds me of those nice neighborhoods in the autumn with the leaves falling onto the perfect lawns.

[@eddiethetruhead]

The first gen is 90-94, refresh in 93. The second gen is the 95-2000, refresh in 98. Here’s the thing, yes the front end on the 90-97s look better but the 98-00 has the 5 speed trans, vvti and most hp so it’s a much more spirited driving experience. Nicer interior and the cd changer is in the dash instead of the trunk as well. Just a few things I prefer about the 98-00 LS.

[@CollectorCarFeed]

Netgear is 100% right about the exterior appearance but I'd sacrifice that for VVTI all day

[@ls400_Marcus]

@@CollectorCarFeed but another benefit about non vvti (89-94) is they are non interference and have thicker rods than the vvti modles so they have less power but will be a more reliable daily

[@udokee7409]

Man fuck vvti lmao

[@nateTrh]

We had a dark blue LS430 come into the shop last year with 380,000 miles and somehow the interior and exterior were near perfect. It was in to get a timing belt and to replace the cam seals and valve cover gaskets. Some people just want their car to run forever and I commend them for it.

[@woe.num.1]

the LS430 is the superior LS.

[@bronkarr8942]

My first car was a 99 GS300, and now I've got a 2000 SC300. These late 90's lexuses have treated me well and now I want an LS400 so I can get my SC built haha.

[@CockatooDude]

Don't. Get. The. SC. Built. Keep that thing stock, keep it for another 10 years and sell it for a massive profit.

[@bronkarr8942]

@@CockatooDude Too late lol. I'll probably own a fully stock one in the future for the fun of it, but I've already done a ton of stuff to the SC and it's been a lot of fun to drive

Picked up a one owner 98 the other month with 402k miles, and its flawless. Runs and drives great

[@scarface51393]

As a Lexus tech I can tell you for the gold badge the dealership had to hire someone to get that done and some dealerships didn’t offer that 😂
