Toyota Celsior 6 Month Ownership Report and Why I'm Selling It

My 1997 Toyota Celsior aka Lexus LS400 has been a car that piqued my interest to such a degree that I spent weeks tracking down the exact spec I wanted and imported it from Japan myself.
I then spent even more time bringing it back to the legendary factory OEM ride quality it's known for and enjoyed every second of the last 6 months daily driving it. In this video, I'm sharing with you my thoughts about the car and why I've made the difficult decision to sell it.
As much as I hate to sell it, I've accomplished what I set out to do in this car and freeing up the cash will allow me to pursue other interesting projects here on the channel. And eventually I'll get an LS430 to enjoy on the channel as well.

It's a bummer for me because I have a 96 LS400 and I was enjoying your (our) journey to repair and upgrade every aspect of the car over a casual timeline together. Thanks for all the great long LS400 videos, and LS parts sources in the description in the past.

@JJinMotion 5 месяцев назад

It’s definitely not my last LS :-)

@paramdeepdhillon3002 3 месяца назад

Yea i got same 96 ls400 too abd really appreciate ur detailed long videos.

As soon as you sell it it's getting slammed by some teenager. 😔 Shame because black interiors are more rare. Thanks for all the videos on suspension though, they've helped me a lot.

@JJinMotion 5 месяцев назад

The couple that bought it was so excited and want to keep it stock. It's their primary daily now so its gone to a great home. Thanks for watching and commenting, hopefully you stick around for more Toyota goodness :-)

@christiannakamura1187 5 месяцев назад

Glad to hear that. Did you make a valve cover gasket video when you did them? Mine are leaking.

@JJinMotion 5 месяцев назад

@@zptokyo Nothing wrong with some serious fitment like that! I just didn't like that this one scraped when going over even small bumps. Just didn't fit my vibe for this car. My BMW on the other hand... scrape city lol

400 Easily the Best car I ever owned.....had many Luxury cars since....NOTHING comes close to the reliability....and sheer driving pleasure of an LS400. Quietest....smoothest....best built.....most reliable......most enjoyable car ......they simply will never be anything like it again....the sound system is truly incredible too....I bought the 460 and it was a terrible drive compared to the 400.....had 400 7 years.....460 six months...enough said.....Far too complicated for no reason....buy the best 400 you can find...repair with genuine parts only....and have the Best Car EVER made.

@hussienabukhalil2012 5 месяцев назад

I think the main reason is the right hand driver position. Such a car with same condition I will never sale it . Believe me if it's left hand driver side, your girl friend will love it for sure . I can't wait for LS430 😊 The queen 👸 of all vehicles 😊

@JJinMotion 5 месяцев назад

I can’t wait for it too! Gonna keep an eye out for the right one. I want one that needs some love but that isn’t totally clapped out

@hussienabukhalil2012 5 месяцев назад

@@JJinMotion right ✅️ 👌 But clean ones are so expensive 😕 Even here in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. LS430 used ones are more more expensive than LS460 . No one like LS460 here , only few people, only the people who doesn't understand about cars . , the most two butiful colors on it , is red wine 🍷 👌 and pearly white , and the interior is Off white beige ، the most available on it . Good 👍 luck man to find clean 👌 one

I own a 98' Celsior freshly imported 5 months ago, and I have to admit, the car is very likable, comfortable, and reliable, all stock and no modification, a great car to own. Although there is one thing that I don't like about it, the mpg is really bad, i only get like 11-12 in cities. Highway is better, I get around 25-30 mpg.

@JJinMotion 4 месяца назад

That’s awesome! Yeah, bad mpg is their downfall but everything else is amazing

@awls400 5 месяцев назад

Dang gonna miss the celsior. Hope it goes to a good home.

@JJinMotion 5 месяцев назад

It for sure has!

@jaredstueckel2649 5 месяцев назад

I sold both my 2005 ls430’s last summer and immediately regretted it so I just got a 98 Celsior last month to fill the void

@JJinMotion 5 месяцев назад

Dang you had two LS430's at the same time? I thought I was a car hoarder haha. Do you like the 430 or Celsior more so far?

@ryzen397 5 месяцев назад

yea my Dad bought the one of the first LS400's back in 1990 I believe. It had the Nakamichi sound system and black leather. It was really sweet. He said Mercedes is just too overpriced lol

@LSnium 5 месяцев назад

They didn’t make a black interior LS400 until 1993. I have a red interior 1990 with the nakamichi system.

@ryzen397 5 месяцев назад

@@LSnium no sht... interesting. they are sweet cars anyway. I was a kid so probably got the year or color wrong.

This saddens me. I got the 97 Coach Edition Cream on Cream and your videos are the best how to motivator videos. Sad to see that the tutorials stop for this car. 😢. I was hoping to see that timing belt video.

@JJinMotion 4 месяца назад

I did a video on the 2uz timing belt recently which is nearly identical!

@worldhello1234 2 месяца назад

@1:51 AFAIK 1UZ-FE was first introduced in the late 80s version of the Celsior.

@LstLvn Месяц назад

Correct, at least 1989

@LSnium 5 месяцев назад

I had 4 LS400s including a 1991 Toyota Celsior, I enjoy the LS400 more especially because I have a red on red LS400, unlike Celsiors which they didn’t come with. Oh and the Celsior which I sold which I always keep my cars stock, is now slammed to the ground.

How's the sound with the blueooth FM transmitter? Thinking of getting a celsior and am mostly worried about keeping that factory screen but also having good music

@JJinMotion 2 месяца назад

It’s totally fine, better than nothing, but also not the greatest. The quality of the Celsior sound system makes up for it
