1996 Lexus LS400

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is honored to offer this extremely clean, low mileage example of a 1996 Lexus LS400 marketed on consignment with our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. The Lexus LS400 was the result of a calculated business decision by Toyota to enter the luxury car segment with the first model hitting showroom floors in 1989. By the time this car was sold in the mid 90's, Lexus had cracked the code and was ranked right up there with Mercedes except with much better reliability and lower maintenance costs. It's pretty typical to see used LS400s with well over 200,000 miles and still running strong but you can buy this one with just over 41,000 on the odometer (less than 1,700 miles per year!). Better yet, this vehicle was bought new in Arizona, has had just two owners and the Carfax is squeaky clean. This Lexus looks bold and classy in its “Beige Metallic" paintjob that features a second, darker tone on the lower portion of the body. Those shiny chrome wheels will fit in at any country club or a valet parking lot and Lexus did a great job with the proportions on this practical, four-door sedan. Spearheading the legendary reliability of the LS400 was the 4.0l dual overhead cam, 24valve V8 engine that pumped out approximately 260hp (according to online literature for the 1996 model year) and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Not that you'll hear much from those eight cylinders inside of course; this is no muscle car contender but a quiet, confident cruiser that operates effortlessly around town and at speed. The scorecard for the LS400 really ramps up in the cabin where the quality of materials is nothing short of outstanding and the options available are almost too many to list. Beige leather seating, simple and attractive instrumentation, climate control, telescopic wheel, a power sunroof and stereo system with CD changer in the glove box are just some of the highlights. This LS400 may be a quarter of a century old, but it certainly hasn't aged that way and the driving experience holds its own against anything from the 21st Century. It's no wonder that forums, online reviews and countless automotive enthusiasts regard the LS400 as one of the best all-around cars ever made. Snatch this one up, keep it in good shape and watch the value of your investment take off!
