The Appeal
The Lexus LS is has been the flagship of Toyota's luxury division for some thirty-five years. The second generation - the XF20 - was revised in 1997, with improved acceleration, fuel economy and handling both being the focus for the upcoming millennium. It was a handsomely lined, beautifully finished car that felt sophisticated and distinctly disciplined. A car of refinement.
This 1998 example boasts a low mileage of just 88,300 miles, backed by a very extensive service history of 22 main dealer stamps. This includes a new cambelt and service at Lexus in May 2023, costing £925. This lovely late-90s luxury Sedan is ready and waiting for its new owner, and we've no doubt it'll prove to be a very rewarding purchase.
