1993 Lexus LS400 Review 

Proud owner of a 1991 version. 360,000 plus miles on the clock. My daily driver. My favorite thing to do is to drive at highway speeds with the stereo OFF while listening.......to silence.

Famous in india because of harshad mehta big bull of stock market

Keeping an old classic like this going shows a lot of character.

The 93-94 LS400 styling is timeless, classic conservative design with the wide and long stance that gives it a sense of luxury. We have one of these as a family car and it still runs and looks great with 280,000 miles. The "thump" when you the close the door is just as solid as when it was new. If you want a more modern/newer LS, check out the 2007-2012 LS400/460. After 2012, Lexus went crazy with the hideous, gaping front grille. Looks like Darth Vader's helmet. LOL

No joke everything he said is facts...I own a 94 and this damn thing just won't break and lord knows I put my foot in it👌

I just bought a 93 yesterday. I like it more than my exes 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. This is such a clean ride, and the v8 is just superb. Your review was spot on, and thanks for the knowledge!

One of the best car reviews I've ever seen. Period. You're really talented at this. I hope you keep them rolling!

As a bmw owner I can agree that this car was way ahead of its time

Great review! I thought my ES350 was a great driving machine, until I bought a 2000 LS400. It is all original with 80K miles, best car I have ever owned.

Tha scam 1992 ❤️ Harshad mehta❤️😭

Hell yeah, these cars are finally getting their attention. My 1990 LS400 with almost half a million miles, still runs good. I appreciate your appreciation and detailed video about this car, it deserves every bit, and everyone needs to know about it. But im ashamed to see these cars get piled up in the junkyard.

I have a 1998 LS400 and I fell in love with it time I test drove it. It had 234,000 miles on it when I bought it about 4 years ago. I personally replaced the timing belt and water pump with my own hands. And I also replaced the entire front suspension on it myself. These cars are not hard to work on at all to me. When I drive it I really don't wnt to get out of it because drives so very smooth.

I have the 1992 model, it's just as great! Best first car I could've asked for. Got it for $1100 dollars, almost in perfect condition

This video deserves 1,000,000 views. Super funny and informative. Dude, well played.

Great if not the best review of the 1st gen LS400 ever! Thanks for this.

dude this makes me want to go buy one now!

this is great car i own one its 92 i drive it everyday and go on road trips no problem

Best review on a lexus ever seen. Asphalt n butter lol i own 01 ls 430. Never want anything else ever!

This is exactly what we are looking for when evaluating buying options. Thank you very, very much!

If I can find one in this condition I would buy it over ANY 2000’s models!!!! My moms boyfriend had this car and I drove it a couple of time omg it drives soooo smooth and til this day he still has after 6yrs!!!!

The LS400 was a very good car of its time. It starts now, gets a cool status, since it started the entire Lexus adventure. I'm glad I have a 94 model, with all the upgrades that came during the life of the first LS400.

Gorgeous Original Lexus LS400!! Great review, lots of great information!!! Thank you so much

Brilliant comprehensive and most importantly deserving review for one of the best designed thought out cars ever.

Excellent review, very informative and enjoyable . Good work.

the 1st generation is the best imo. I was lucky enough to come across and buy a 1991 LS400 w 106k original miles off of CL back in 2015. It was (and remains) in pristine condition (rare thing to find on CL). It came equiped w satellite telephone (yea it has a phone inside the arm rest), 6 disc CD changer in the trunk (fully functional 8 speakers total including a 8" sub), a med kit and spare tire changing toolkit. It's been my daily driver ever since. (as of now it has 129k miles). Besides basic maintenance I've only had to replace the power steering pump, the starter (which is located behind at the bottom of the massive engine - a pain in the a$$ to replace), brake pads and 8 spark plugs - which btw were the original ones from factory (!!). Of course I have my own mechanic which gets the job done cheaply as the Lexus dealer charges arm & leg for such jobs. Most of those parts were replaced due to being worn not necessarily fault of production (except power steering pump and temp control display that goes blank - well known issues in these cars). The car remains well preserved, solid and strong and I get tons of compliments on it. You can tell they put a lot of effort and thought in building this amazing car. I LOVE everything about it: the classic box/limo style, the powerful V8 that feels like your're driving a train going effortlessly at 75mph on the left lane of the highway, how quiet and smooth it is, how spacious it is inside, large trunk, the quality paint job (mine is the 2-tone pearl white w grey bottom and it always has this glossy sparkle to it even when i go months w/out washing it) and of course the reliability (pple dont believe this car is 30 years old), overall quality of construction and the amazing history/nostalgia of how this car came about to define one of the best luxury brands in the world. If i even aquire Lambos, Ferraris etc in the future this car will remain my favorite one.

Absolutely love it!...and great video too.

Very nice review. Got my eye on a 95 right now. Has 110k miles and seem very well kept. Can't wait to go see it and hopefully buy it!

About to get my own now, 131k, champagne exterior, tan interior, relatively optioned out, clean and maintained lol I'm excited. I've watched this video so many times now on my road to owning one.

Had a 91 loved it sold it when I moved Now I have a 90 Love this car more than anything I've ever driven or owned Epic review on this great vehicle Good job bro

An absolutely wonderful and detailed review! You just earned a new subscriber!

Your reviews are so creatively made, well done sir.

I’ve wanted one since I was a kid (90s baby) hopefully I can catch this white one for sale cheap 🙏🏾🎌

one of the best cars in the world. very well done review.

Good shit. One of best reviews I've seen 👍

So happy to come across this video ! You earned a subscriber, keep up the good work!

This is the same car that you beat up in Street Fighter bonus stage.

Very, excellent, exceptional review, the copy was well written and the voice over sublime. Thank you, I’m buying one.

I don't know why this doesn't have more reviews, but I'm enjoying your voice.

Great review!!

Best Lexus LS400 review I've ever seen! I currently run a 2006 GS300, it too is a fabulous car, withh all the Lexus excellence we've come to expect from the brand - but with economy too. I've owned 2 LS400's before and I'm now looking for another. A late model this time, with satnav, Bluetooth etc., and the 5 speed transmission. These cars are getting hard to find in good order here in the UK, but I'm determined. Thanks for a great - and 100% honest - review. I've subscribed and hit the bell, so I look forward to more to come

Well done and thorough. Liked for spot on joke about Grand Am haha. Great work.

Very nice review of a reliable classic and very comprehensive as well.

Wow! Crystallized the subtle characteristics of this exquisite vehicle with articulated precision. Asphalt and butter!

Wowwww! The Best Review Ever! 9n Point! Beautifulll!

Love your review

Excellent review! First class. In-depth and clearly shows the thoughts and knowledge of the owner. These cars have unquestionably earnt their place in automotive history with proven reliability and durability. An extremely well designed car. 👍🧐🎩

This was one of the best car reviews I have ever seen. You hit all the notes, technical and emotional. Love it.

Love the review you just got a new subscriber.

This is one of the best YT car videos ive ever seen

Nice! So well described. How do I know?? I own a 2000, built lovingly, in JAPAN, in late June no less. One of the last LS400s. A platinum. The best car ever built. Period. Great video. Thanks for the content. Damn good.

I am a proud owner of a 95 ls400. . .and this video was the best fucking video ive ever seen to describe the car. . .dam good job sir. . .all around video. . .sound. . .your free speech but thourough and informative. . .made me want to go for a drive and i just got home ha...the car is a dream man. . .so unrivaled. . .

Really enjoy your narrative and informative reviews, especially this and LS430! Would love to see a 2007-2012 Lexus ES350 review (I drive one)!

wow this review is up there with doug saabkyle, shmee and every professional youtube car reviewer. ls400 is like no other

WOW! Excellent review, bud.

I drive the Gs 300 of this generation and prefer the styling and the better handling. The Ls did share it's front suspension and 4 spd tranny with the GS. Mine is 23 years old pushing 275k and still runs like a fairly new car. The LS and GS of this era along with the other models were built to an extremely high standard. For a used car buy today they are practically a steal. Great review.

This review deserves thumbs up

excellent video!

Awsome car awsome review ! Thank you

Wow..you don't find any other luxury car looking like that after 27 years...still running well and everything still works.

Great Dale's pitch from the LS 400. Thanks for sharing

Great video! How in the world do you only have one subscriber???

Great video on the LS, love the orange bits on the bumper, very vintage! Hard to believe this car is older than me!

Hey man im dropping back in to say thanks. After watching this video I totally fell in love with the LS400. I liked the body style and saw the specs, and thought it'd be a good car. It was this video that made me realize how special it truly is. since then I bought one for 1,300 bucks, and I've been making videos about it. I urge you to check it out! So thanks for inspiring me to get a great car, and helping me find some awesome content! Keep at it.

this one is in a lot better shape than the one I looked at today...off to look some more

This is the best review on this car I have ever watched. As a Toyota owner/car fan, I have easily realized that they make the most reliable vehicles by far. My 2000 Corolla with 225k has had no problems after 6 years of ownership. I hope to one day find and own an LS 400.

Everyone I've ever met old and young have said this is their favorite and best car they've ever owned. I'm right there with them.

closing the doors in this beauty sounds like a bank vault,I would love one

Good video. The 1UZ-FE is a legendary engine that was designed as part of the Toyota LeMans race team and reportedly cost over 1 BILLION (yeah with a B) to build. The 400 and 430 are arguably THE two most reliable cars that have ever been built.

I love my 01" LS430. Build Quality is amazing.

Good review ive got a 93 ls400

Well said!!! I have a 94 ls 400 gold badge I absolutely love ❤️ this car 💕

I have a 92 es300 in damn near mint condition. When I bought it in 2019 it only had 60K original miles on it. Now I'm in search for a nice LS! Lexus for life baby!

I'm keeping mine stock. Love it, looks great, runs great.. the only thing I did was get high performance mufflers.. mine is a 2000 No VIP

Great Reviev

Just bought a 1998, cant wait to pick it up :)

Thank you so much.

It is the best luxury sedan ever made. Owned a couple. They are still running today. Amazing

Man. This thing aged well. I’ve always wanted one to restore to factory condition.

Very educated👍 Job well done

Dear Atomic Auto, I enjoy listening to your recordings on You Tube about old Lexuses. I hope you can help me. I bought a new 1996 Lexus LS400 27 years ago. It now has 221K miles on it. Last year it started running rough in Florida, and I also saw smoke coming from both exhausts. I told my mechanic to do a complete tune-up, (plugs, wires distributor caps, rotors, etc.) Still ran rough and smoke from exhausts. He replaced the 3 catalytic converters, but no help. He replaced the 3 oxygen sensors, but no help. He examined both mufflers all okay, but no help. I finally shipped the car to my mechanic in Massachusetts. We removed the top intake manifold, examined the fuel rail, inspected the 8 fuel injectors and replaced the 8 rubber seals, and performed a compression test. Still no help. We disconnected the power steering line to the engine, still no help. I read that if the engine oil was overfilled, the oil would foam and smoke, and not lubricate. (Lucas oil was added last time), so we drained and replaced the oil. Still no help. I love this car and do not want to abandon it. Any suggestions?

Best review of a LS400. A truly remarkable car in terms of reliability. Probably the most durable, safe and reliable car made to date. It's negatives? Well fuel economy could be better. But it's strength is it's saviour, it could we'll save your life, so the extra fuel cost repays that.👍🧐🎩

Very good review I’m looking at purchasing a 1993 LS 400

Now, I want one.

Gotta love that good ol 1UZ! 😍😘😎🤗

This LS400 in the video is one of the best looking out there! Really nice spec! There's a video here on RU-vid about one that looks not "luxury" at all... Not even a leather interior... It was quite ugly in a whole unfortunately...

good calm video

I owned 1992 LS400 the ended 246123 miles do to an accident. Never have me any major issues. My mechanic would say "hey?! What kind of a friend are you? I only see you around every 3 month for an oil change and tire rotation"

The LS400 did to the German luxury manufacturers what the Acura NSX did to Ferrari: put them on notice that they had better raise their game or be rendered obsolete in short order.

What a beautiful car even in 2020. started loosing interest in Lexus when they moved the new style front grill. And I can say they do last, from experience.

I love my 93 LS400, 144k miles only a 2 owner car and it's a gold package. I love it so much, and it's STILL on the original transmission!! It doesn't slip yet! Everything on my car is in near pristine condition, minus one little tear on the drivers seat, and the little cracks that happen on the front bumper clear coat. My power tilt wheel doesn't work, needs fixed, and sadly the RPM gauge "electroluminescence" is starting to flicker which bugs me.... (If that is fixable someone please tell me) But otherwise everything else is great, and I love this car!

Dude I would give a nut for your 85 Cressida. Now that’s crazy for a guy to say. But those are the most awesome car. I did have a 93 LS. Sold it with 360k. Want a 85-88 Cressida. Maybe even a wagon! Great review btw. Oh and my LS was a base model. It did not have that TRAC control button yours has because that was an option. I didn’t have air suspension either thank god

Loved the old school Mercedes and BMWs but in that picture the Lexus looks a decade ahead of em

great value in the looooong run

When you said "it never wear out", re-think that.

Proud owner of one of these ships here Best car.

Beautiful car, i have a 91 but damn i would like a 93 with all it's features.

buying one

Beautiful car even in 2022.

the dashboard design looks clean, minimal and beautiful.
