Congratulations! Love that body style. Our neighbors daughter had one and put over 200,000 miles on it. I think she tried to tear it up because she hit everything in town but her brakes! Her Dad would get the body work done and it was almost as good as new.

Nice!

I'm a big Toyota/Lexus fan, I love the LS from that generation.

Congrats!

Great cars and great engines. Lexus V8 is safe to rev very high too. My 4.6L V8 loves 3-5000 rpm.

Congrats! Love these and the older LS's.

How often will you use/drive it? Filling it up is costly.

Thanks guys!!

Even the interior still smells new, the leather is supple and not cracked, everything works. Full maintenance history, original Dutch car and I'm the second owner. It's truly immaculate.

The V8 is indeed spectacular, but not too loud, it's just right!

Excellent choice for reliability and longevity !

Congrats Bas, and great choice! I love those ‘90s sedans too. A little different, but a friend had a third gen Honda Legend from similar era which we used to cruise around in all the time, and I’m still nostalgic about. Enjoy.

Thanks Brian!!
Can't cancel the flight anymore unfortunately, the cancel fee is ridiculous and my employer is not willing to cover that (which I completely understand).

Even though it's pretty large for our roads here, it's still no issue because the visibility of these older cars is so good. The turning circle isn't as bad as I thought it would be either.
