The search for a new
(when I say new I mean 28 year old car)
daily driver is finally over,
but this is not just your average daily driver.
1996 LEXUS LS400
* It’s equipped With the legendary 1UZ-FE Engine Which is FAA approved for use in an airplane.
* Although not impressive by today’s standards:
260hp @5400 RPM
270 lb-ft. @4400 RPM
Is nothing to be ashamed of.
* Proven reliably, that is good for 1 million miles (Known for its overbuilt and over engineered engine, comes stock with a forged crankshaft)
* 60 mph in 7.5 seconds
* 1/4 MILE 15.2 s @ 94.3 mph
* Top Speed 155 mph
* One Very Smooth Operator, The seats are some of the most comfortable in the business.
* Bargain sedan, with luxury features that still impress today.
* With comfort in mind, it’s insulated from the outside world, so the driver can just relax.
* Over a period of 5 years and an estimated $1 billion was spent in research and development of the LS400.
* With a fairly decent fuel economy rating for a V8
17 mpg city & 23 mpg highway
(20 mpg combined)

Follow me along the ups and downs in this journey, where I’ll drive,repair,enjoy and explore this Legendary 90’s luxury sedan that rocked the automotive industry to its core.
This is still, in my humble opinion,
the BEST vehicle you can buy for $5000 or less.
