I have a ’91 model with that many miles and it is still going very
strong. I have no intention of selling it until I absolutely have to.
The way it still drives, I hope that will be a long time away.

  1. The only Lexus I know that is front wheel drive is the ES300. Basically an
    expensive Camry. All the others are RWD as far as I know (except 4wd in the
    RX300 and LX470).

    on the ODO, the seller wants $7800 for it.  It is clean,  has all the
    service records, no tears in the leather, paint is good and no rust.  This
    being the first Model year, is it a stable auto?  What can I expect to fix
    with that many miles on it?  The only down side is the aspect of driving a
    vehicle with Rear Wheel Drive!  I was under the assumption that LEXUS was a
    Front Wheel Drive.

    The ls400 is a good car, earlier ones do have problems once in a while,
    look out for air-con and breaks. if you get a good one you will be
    pleased. As for rear wheel drive, no problem, its fine for such a large
    car.
