No one could be happy with a car like that, even if you bought it for $5.4k.

Very reasonable Lexus? Yes

Favorite Lexus? Not so much.

Why not? They are great cars, and you can even get Bilstein shocks for them :)

The 98-00 LS400 is a great car, like any 90s Toyota. Legendary reliability with luxury and prestige to impress your friends. You can even get some Bilstein shocks for them, which aren’t available for every Toyota.

However, the best Lexus, the best Toyota, the best car ever made, is the 92-96 ES300 (and Camry).

Apparently you’ve never heard one uncapped. It could drive terribly if I got to listen to that noise all day. Just a plus that it is extremely comfortable.

But the OG SC is the best Lexus.

This is a jab against a former author who got banned.

Pop! Goes the timing belt. Though supposedly nothing actually happened to these motors when that occurs.

One of the, if not THE, most reliable car ever made.

I want the third Gen LS quite badly.

Can’t star-click from mobile, so you get a reply of approval instead.

Oh, so we banned the high school kid who posted about ‘his’ LS every five minutes, again? What is that, 4 times now? You’d think they’d learn to stop trolling...

Great car.

But my favorite Lexus is the LFA. Or if the requirements are it must be obtainable, then the IS300 with a manual.

I was shopping for a 98-2000 lexus ls400, and I ended up finding a 97 with 133k miles on it. It was in too good of shape to pass up. The timing belt is 10 years old on it though, so that’ll add another 800-1000$ to the tab though :(. I’ll have to post pictures one day. I bonus to getting the 97 over the 98 was they changed to plastic headlamps in the front. It’s kind of fun to have the original glass headlamps.

Yup. Reading the ban thread is really funny (to me).

I found it, but it’s less funny now since all his replies got nuked from orbit. Even though four mods said “yeah, quit trying to skirt the rules and also why the fuck are you insulting trans members of Oppo?” It was like watching people argue with an oddly stupid wall.

Skirt what rules? I know he posted incessantly about “selling” his LS, so was it that he was trying to post for sale threads too much, or was he behaving badly? I replied to a couple of threads about what mods he should do, and I could tell he wouldn’t listen to sound advice, and at one point claimed he wasn’t acting like a typical teen when he most certainly was.

If there was more serious drama I missed it then. Oh well. I was tired of seeing him post about his damn car all the time anyway.

Well, he got banned three other times. Making new accounts to get around the bans is skirting the rules.

Fair enough.
