FS: 1998 Lexus LS400 Blk/Blk VIP STANCE - $12K OBO

[xtremex626]

Hello all! It is time for me to move on and let go of my beloved LS. Plenty of money, time, blood, sweat, and tears went into this build and I'm hoping it goes to the hands of someone who embraces the VIP style culture the way I have.

My car has never left me stranded anywhere. Lexus truly stands by their reliability and it shows that even at 185k miles (nothing in the Lexus/Toyota world). Don't let the mileage fool you.. I have babied the car since my ownership (only put a total of about 23k miles on her since). I just had the whole timing belt and water pump service done this past April and then some using all genuine parts from Toyota so you're pretty much good for a long period of time. See below for more info.

Well done. Lmk if/when you're ready to sell the wheels, they may be a bit small for my 430 but I'd consider it.

beautiful ls400, bump for you!

Also quick question on the exhaust, I straight piped my LS400 from the cat with 2.25 piping as well, and it wasnt as loud as i thought it would be.

Just out of curiosity, how does your exhaust sound like? Is it deep, loud, quite?

It sounds deep, throaty, loud, and aggressive. It's pretty damn loud since i have no resonators.
