Scotty, what else should I do for a manual Toyota Matrix with 170k kms (105k miles) that has NO maintenance history??
Carfax only shows 7 pervious owners and nothing else! Guy I bought it from only had for 5000km.
I got an oil change, new front bearings/brakes, checked all the fluids and swapped/cleaned all the filters.
15 year old car and looking forward to the next 15 years
I love my 06 Lexus LS 430. I’ll buy 2 more to keep with parts so I never have to buy a new piece of junk. Unless the car companies finally make em good and simple again. You can’t beat the 430. Yes the 400 is nice also.
The only thing more reliable than a Lexus is Scotty’s wisdom.
Haha true
I just watched his vid on a Honda CR-V w 450k miles...Honda is just as good
If you buy a V8 and complain about gas mileage, you really shouldn't have one
I say the same about Jeeps.
I dunno. My mustang gets 10mpg, 8mpg last tank. I’ve babied that car for 23 years. Regular on time maintenance. Sticker claims 17 city, 27 hwy. I have to offset its carbon footprint with an EV. 🤦♀️
my 99 Ls400 gets 25 miles a gallon like word
@@UmmYeahOk my 4cyl low milage old camry with new plugs gets like ~15 city, so per cylinder you are quite efficient xD, hey gas was more powerful back in the day, inflation and all ya know
Ford crown vic v8 gets better gas mileage than my Subaru outback h4
My mum just bought a 1994 Toyota Camry for $1000 that has only 60k miles on it! It drives so nice and smooth. Has no body damage and no issues. It was an amazing find!!
incredible
That's a good one those lasted forever
I loved my moms 99. She has a new one now, but i prefer the old one. It was more spacious and rode smoother.
...it looks like some sellers don't know that prices for second hand vehicles has doubled ,at least. Those are the sellers to seek ,and they're probably older and not interested in the internet and social media and don't watch Scotty videos .
just got an 05 camry with 250k for a grand shes lucky!!!!
This model had no choice but be realy good. It was direct competition in US with MB,and they nailed it.
He lucked out finding this, used his head checking it out & didn't let the excitment of the find, over shadow reality. Smart guy. 💯❕
I love being an LS400 owner
Someone really took care of this car. Nice find. 4500 is not too bad of a deal these days
Especially for a 98-00.
My first car was a '91 ls400 in 2016. Ran like an absolute champ for 3 years until the transmission died and I couldn't afford to get it back up and running. Even with a dying transmission, still was able to get me to work until I could find another vehicle - although it was only going a max of 30mph on the highway. Great car, great video Scotty.
Every time I start my Tacoma I say “starts right up. AC is ice cold - it’s a Toyota”
Our tundras a/c stops working when its at idle after about 10 minutes... We've recharged the a/c and it still does it. Ice cold when driving at any speed.
@@fakejeepman06 change the compressor
@@erniecarrasco9107 Thank you for the advice!
@@fakejeepman06 your extra fan is the problem dude, check it out. Not enough air flow at its condensor when your car not moving. Usually Its located at the back of your front grill.
@@fakejeepman06 it is definitely the secondary cooling fan. If you have ac when driving down the road it’s because you are getting air flow. Just turn on the ac full blast and go check to see if it turns on. If it doesn’t might want to see if it’s getting power and if it is replace it.
My 97 Camry is at 470k miles
Nice!!
wow!!👌 i gta 99 solara sle ($3400) with 162k ... just turned 254 awwwsome love that damn car😂
I have 97 LS400 almost 100k im keeping it till my Death...
"It still corners like a flying carpet" that's gotta be the best analogy I've heard yet 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol I didn’t know that what it feels like riding flying carpets
I was like yo what 🔥🤣 spitting one liners
I have wanted an LS400 since before that 1998 was even built. They’re as beautiful as any Lincoln or Mercedes inside and I’m really glad to know there’s still some good ones out there
Buy one now they will be worth 20,000 soon
@@gang6009 I guarantee I can’t even touch them already in my area!! The 1998 models are probably “asking priced” higher than my current daily driver brand new off the lot in 2017 🙄
@@brucemorris3830 buy rhd it holds more value
@@gang6009 know what I’m kicking myself for? One of my mechanics had a Toyota Sequoia on the lot like 2 years ago. A 2003-4 I think; but I could have scooped it up for like $10k at the time. Top of the line beautiful truck inside and out, leather interior, all the bells & whistles… And I’d probably be able to sell it for $25k right now in this market
American manufacturers: "Why aren't we selling more cars?"
Japanese manufacturers: "What do you want in a car?"
In the west, business is not about making money. It is about control.
The American mindset is what is happening in the next fiscal quarter.....The Asian mindset is what will happen in the next quarter century...
way over-used cuteness. Boring.
yes its pure digusting garbage exactly what the other guy said short term thinking and they make good cash off repairs, it blows me anyones brain dead enough to buy the trash
Japan: our car is so good you'll never have to buy another
America: and sign here, here, and here.
My LS 430 has 303K miles on it. It gets 25 mpg on the highway, if I smooth drive it. Seats heat in 30 seconds in the winter, where it snows where I live. Being that heavy you do have to replace the brake pads every 30-40K miles.
I've daily driven a 2000 LS400 for the last 4 years and loved every minute. 209k miles and counting, driven cross country several times, dozens of national parks, even drove 1000 miles in 24 hours one time. Thought about selling a few times but couldn't let go. Just took a 500 mile road trip and got 24 mpg it's all about how you drive it (avg tank 20 mpg, worst 17, best 25)
Perfect timing i just bought an 05 ls430 with 128k miles and plan on keeping it as long as I can very comfortable and powerful :)
The key to vehicle happiness. Find out what is really sound, and buy it used. Look like a million on somebody else's million
My 2001 has 221,000 miles. I bought it at 215,000 miles. I had to replace a few gaskets. As oil was leaking. Nothing major. Got the timing belt service down. Such a joy to drive. Smooth car.
Of the LS430's the best years were '04-'06. Yours can last indefinitely, IF the maintenance was correctly done before you got it.
Absolutely agree with Scotty. I am still searching for my LS400
This two Door Hatchback Will Last Over 1 Million Miles: You Guessed it : 1994 Toyota Celica.
Lmao they mad expensive now too
Lmao!!!!
Scotty never drives his, he drives the Matrix.
@@wyatthanshue3693 I paid $600.00 for mine in November 2019. I fully restored it.
Damn you Scotty! I actually fell for that extra 1 in the thumbnail. 🤣
This generation of the LS and W140 Mercedes-Benz are legendary 90's luxury cars!
The cat is priceless..bahaaaa I would love to live across the street from u, pull up a chair with my cocktail and watch u tube in person with Scotty.
Nice job adding the extra 1 in the thumbnail. I was like Whuuuuut! 🤣
I had a LS 430 2006 loved it…still driving Lexus !
90s camrys probably the best sedan ever made ,always wanted one .
98 camry 40k miles my 4 other brothers drove, 10,yesrs later of abused driven (but maintance like a clock) 170k miles given to me, I drove it 235k miles in Chicago, I kid you not the cleanest 98 you'll ever find, paint was like showroom floor, zero rusting on body, only superficial on bare steel parts due to swine salt. All the 98s I see are so beat up and ugly but they are still going. Mine burned half quart every 3k but I changed at 3.5k with high milage conv. So I didn't care.
I get 28 mpg in my 98’ ls400 with the cruise set at 68😌
I get between 26-28 in my '01 LS430. Highway cruising - they eat up the miles and are very decent on gas
The last pickup truck I had that pulled over 19 mpg was a 1966 stick no A/C or P/S
@@don2deliver My 2008 Expedition will get 22 if I keep the cruise at 70, driving cross country from NJ to AZ, with the a/c on.
@@d.e.b.b5788 That's good but not enough for me to ever want to own a three valve ford head vehicle.
@@don2deliver These are all figures using the cruise control during my frequent trips across the highways, 80 to 76 to 70, then south to 44, and then to 40, it's about 2600 miles. 70 mph is the 'sweet spot' with this truck. 75 and the mileage drops to 17. but weridly, 80 and it only goes to 16. I wasn't able to do anything slower than 70 over the road, because the big trucks kept passing me and scaring the crap out of me when I tried to only maintain 65 on the interstates beyond Pa. Like many things, it took a while to sort out the problems with Ford's modular engine, and yes, there have been lots of people who've had problems; but considering the tens of millions of those engines out there, it seems like there are also plenty that continue to run just fine with only regular maintenance. I have to wonder how many problems were due to using cheap oil filters which fit, but didn't have the backflow prevention thingy in them, which allowed the oil to drain back into the pan, which wound up causing a dry start up condition all the time.
Love the ls400 easy to work on and most of all its rear wheel drive.
I drove one of these home for a buddy of mine that bought it off some older folks. It only had like 50 ish thousand on it. It was the nicest car I have ever driven. Like a space capsule, super quiet, swift yet smooth power delivery. Seats like a lazy boy, plenty of room and ice cold AC. I need to find a good one for myself.
91 LS400 driver here. My daily driver, 385,000 miles and still going strong. All original drivetrain. I baby the car with maintenance. Top quality fluids changed religiously on time. Love my car.
Did you get seats reupholstered?
Transmission fluid too?
One of the best cars ever built !
I Still Drive My Black 1999 LS400 As A Daily Driver With 190,000 Miles On It. The Engine And Ride Quality Is Still As Smooth As Butter!
I Keep It Buffed/Polished And The Interior Still Looks Like New With The Exception Of The Driver's Seat. I Put A Seat Cover With The Same Color Scheme As The Other Seats And People Can't Tell The Difference.
It's 22.5 Year's Old, I Just Drove Back And Forth From Northern California To Los Angeles And Had A Tank Average Of 30.3MPG With An Average Driving Speed Of 70MPH. I Also Used A $1.00 Octane Booster That I Purchase Regularly From The Dollar Tree.
I Just Keep The Oil Changed Regularly (20K High Mileage Mobile One With The Accompanying Filter) And Other Fluids, Tire Rotations, Etc And It Just Keeps On Running.
I Changed The Starter In 2019 ($500.00), Radiator 2021 ($290.00), 4 Kenda 60K Steel Belted Radial Tires 2020 ($241.00/Ebay + $80.00 Installation) (I've Had A Total Of 3 Tire Changes Totaling Approx. $1,200.00), Carbon Fiber/Ceramic Brake Pads 2012 Still Going Strong ($180.00), I Had A Tune Up In 2008 ($200.00) And In 2018 ($250.00) Same Mechanic.
My Mechanic Told Me That My Car Is In Excellent Condition And I Should Never Get Rid Of It, Because They Don't Build Cars As Reliable And As Well As The LS400 Or LS460.
My Insurance Per Year Is $566.00 For Liability & Uninsured Through Progressives Drive Insurance.
Get One, Slowly Change What Needs To Be Changed And You'll Be Amazed How Well These Cars Drive And How Reliable They Are! ✌️
This Car Has Been Very Inexpensive To Maintain And Operate Over The Past 22.5 Year's.
Love the golden Lexus emblem in the front!
I think that’s real gold plated!

10 years ago I paid $500 for a 91 Lexus LS400 on Craigslist with 180k miles that was making a horrendous sound under the hood. The owner was certain the engine was toast. Since the tires were almost new I took the deal. Turns out the horrendous sound was the fan clutch bearing bracket $150 part at Auto store. Changed it out. Purred like a kitten. Still running today. 😀
One of the greatest mechanics I never met! Respect brother man! 🇻🇮
Last spring I bought a 2000 accord lx, leather interior, sun roof, 150k miles for $1000 runs like a dream!
Have 99 ls400. 225k miles. Still runs great. The 1uz-fe engine rated by the FCC to be in planes. Best stock luxury production car ever made. You can get 27mpg highway easy.
Thank you Scotty. Love your truth and experience. Watch your videos everyday.
Not only Lexus out sold Mercedes, Bmw. I remembered when a lot of people even traded in their Mercedes, BMWs for these Lexus cars back in the late 90's. A lot of people still do😂😂
Yeah cuz after the 4-year warranty they're junk 😂
A friend of mine sold his Bentley Continental (2 yo) and bought a Lexus. He still owns them.
@@wholeNwon you really think people will believe that
I remember wanting a Lexus back in the early 90s so bad but I was young and broke like most young people. I don’t think the modern Lexus of today are as well built as the older ones. I can afford a Lexus easily now but I prefer to stick with the Toyotas for cheaper costs for parts and maintenance.all my cars are made by Toyota currently, and 2 are built in Japan.
@@tbvv6729 Lexus is still very reliable
Have a RX 300 with 240,000 miles. I like this car better than the new $80k Lexus'.
I was looking at RX 300's in my area than came across a LS400 and had to have it. No regrets except that I still prefer SUV's
That is one sweet ride. Thank you Scotty!
Scotty I always enjoy your show. You're a riot!
"Runs like a well oiled machine".... Probably because it is literally a machine that is oiled well.
"Well-oiled machine". Then T-800 emoji. Hahahaha. I love your videos Scotty! Besides being a pro mechanic you are an entertainer! 🤠
Loved "Corners like a flying carpet".
Lexus has always been my “dream car”… great review Scotty! I am all for conserving resources and buying used, repair and maintenance. You are linear (logical) is why you like old style front grills… I like the new ones because I am artistic and they have more dimension to them. But wasn’t the 1957 Skylark a masterpiece of beauty! Saw one on Mechum… most beautiful artistic vehicle in my opinion EVER! My bucket list is to go to a Mecum auction. You’d be fun there with your commentary and your exponential wisdom!Vehicle museums are great too!!! Good ole days!!!
I got a '96 LS400 with 62,000 miles on it for $2,200 at the end of the 2019 and while it's not a minty example it's still smooth as melted butter. Absolutely love these things and will always recommend one to people
That's one a hell of a deal, got a 96 also in 2019. 100,000 miles for 4,000. I'm the second owner and the first guy took great care of it, he got all the services done up until I bought it, Silver paint on grey leather it looks brand new too. These things are a engineering masterpieces and now they're going for 10k+ with that milage.
I just got an 05 avalon xls w/ 178k miles that sounds brand new and a well maintained service record for 5000, I love it a lot. comfiest car I've ever ridden in
I had a 1995 ls400 and I can attest these things are super reliable. Changing the starter was a mess but overall very good engine and transmission.
I agree with you about the wide mouth grill. I have a 2017 Accord and it has just enough grill.
I once owned one of these, a 2000 model, one of the last built. Easily the best car I have ever owned by a country mile. It's still running today in England (2021), with 200k miles on it. Fabulous cars. Had to sell it because of moving abroad.
i just turned over 400,000 on my 96 LS 400.
178000 miles is nothing on an LS. I remember reading that the first LS was intended to last 400,000 miles. I have always liked these.
1 178 000 miles no 178000
I just got a is 200 as my first car 3weeks ago, love it
Thank you Scotty from queensland Australia 💯💯💯
Scotty so happy with the deal this guy got. Pure heart !
Lexus also have extremely cold AC systems. My dad's SC430 (with the same engine) blow ICE cold on the original AC.
Still own LS400 96 and 98 and 99. My 96 has 500k+ KM. 98 has 184k KM. And 99 has 230k KM. Runs smooth and soo much power!
Do you change the transmission fluid?
Bought a 2000 LS400 2 years ago with 100k I’m at 124k only maintenance for this car is change oil & wheel alignment best car ever made
My favorite car, perhaps the nicest condition wise, car I ever owned was a 1992 Lexus SC300, with the rare 5 speed manual option. Bought it in 2012 with 60,000 miles on it, it was owned by one old man who bought it new in 1992, stored it in the winter. Pearl white on the light tan leather, IMO the best color combo, it was immaculate, seats showed no wear, headlights looked like new, paint/body, it was just an immaculate looking car. Drove the wheels off that car and sold it in 2018, with 100k miles on it. It still looked immaculate, leather was still nice, all the electronic crap/gauges still worked like new. Single thing that impressed me most about that car was the build quality, it didn't squeak/rattle, paint still looked like new going on 25 years, drove tight as a drum. If I had the disposable $$$$ now days I'd buy a JDM 1JZ-GTE 5 speed Toyota Soarer, in the same pearl white/tan interior just to get that same sort of nostalgia that I had with my old SC300
Thank god I got my ls430 before scotty just made the market boom lmaooo, such slept on cars. I get 22 in the city and 30 on the highway with mine :)
I agree that the front end of the new Lexus cars look terrible.
That Lexus LS400 was produced at the Tahara plant near Nagoya.
I love how Scotty is nice and loud in all of these videos I like his other videos that he’s quiet in but I also like rock ‘n’ roll more than I like classical music even though both use guitar.
The LS 400 is one of the best cars ever made. Luxurious and powerful.
When I parked in San Francisco I would turn my wheel so it it would role against the curb, then put it an park, then apply the parking break.
I gotta agree with you Scotty, it's all in how you drive the car. I own a 2018 charger R/T and when I cruise on the highway and drive it nice I'll get upwards of 27 mpg, but in the city or when I start driving it hard the gas mileage tumbles down to like 13 mpg haha
my dads buddy had one of these but a 99, 281k miles on it and it could still do burnouts, tranny shifted smooth, and the ac even still worked despite the last time it was refilled was 7 years ago, bought it for 3 grand in 11’ and never thought twice ab it
I’ve always wanted one of these but everyone I saw was beat up ! I settled on a 2010 Avalon XLS. Nice car too!
No shame at all. The Avalon is a great car. 👍
Hi...can you do a video on a older land cruiser....I love those...
I've had a couple of LS400s and they really are fabulous cars. I used to get pretty good mpg too; I guess it's all in the way you drive them. I now have a Lexus GS300 SE-L. The 3 litre V6 and 6 speed transmission are exellent in every way. Here in the UK, people are waking up to the Lexus experience in a big way. Repairs can be expensive, but they tend not to go wrong or break, so they end up being cheaper to run the a small Ford. Keep up the good work Scotty
My 98 ls400 has 370,000km on it and still runs like a dream surprisingly with the AC off it gets 8.0L/100km fuel economy
Love my 05 ls430, has 143k miles and still super smooth and strong
That's "new".
When you did the acceleration test I could barely hear the engine haha. I'll have one of these one day.... I went all Toyota (previously a Chevy, kia owner) and will never look back.
Just bought my first Toyota. Thus far it's been a great vehicle.
The first Toyota that you bought is still probably on the road today
@@billymorgan7717 If you're old enough your first Toyota may also be your last Toyota. Toyota's can easily get over a million miles if you do basic maintenance on them.

5:48 did anyone else hear the Emergency Broadcast tone?? 😂
That is exactly the way I've always put my car (truck) in park, neutral then emergency brake then park.
Same but I normally go from drive to neutral let off the gas for the parking brake and then put it in park
This car still look good.
Own one and agree (same year too) but the one downfall is the electrics on these as these age. Cluster issues are frequent as is with mine, but all the other issues are really minor so no stress. Can recommend a ucf 20 for any buyer
I own a 05 LS430. 178k miles. Got it for $2800. No lights on, drives like a a champ. Money well spent!!
Just bought a clean 1996 sc400 for $5,500
That's a great deal and a beautiful car!
I had a black 1992 SC400 .
It was a nice car and sounded great with the V8 .
Weak link is the power steering unit located above the alternator.
If the power steering starts leaking , it drips on Alternator and shorts it out .
Also be sure to wash out and keep clean the " pockets " in the frame , especially under the motor as they will hold salt/ water and rust thru.
That lexus is a master piece. Too luxurious for me, but that thing is what a Cadillac should be.
Exactly.
😂😂that 98 is too luxurious for you? Hahaha
@@dbdnrbdb still it didn't stop being a luxury car

Just started using cruise control on my 98, I’m averaging about 25 mpg! No longer a gas guzzler. Love my LS 400!!
I like how Scotty makes fun of the front grill of the newer ls, his laugh makes my day.
My RX300 has over 250,000 and still my daily driver. Just as smooth and reliable as when it was new.
Knew it would be a Lexus before looking.These older ones look better than the new ones with the whaleshark mouth grill LOL.
Scotty what is the best 2021 car being made this year
The LS430 V8 I owned was awarded the most economical V8 in terms of gas mileage.
My 96 LS 400 has 261000 miles on the clock. Cars last forever. The ones that don't last, people think they can drive them without doing the maintenance. Timing belt every 100k and oil change every 5k.
Would you change the belt if it was changed 20 thousand miles previously but is 10 years old?
@@sunnydays5031 Darned good question. Tempting to say rubber is rubber, and tires should be replaced regardless of mileage after 6-8 years. But a timing belt isn't exposed to the unlimited amount of sunlight that is a primary cause of tires cracking, so I'm guessing you're still OK. I think if time without miles killed timing belts, we'd have heard stories about that from "barn find" videos and so forth.
As usual, the decision comes down to how much the time or money means to you, versus what the car means to you.
@@sunnydays5031 If the vehicle been sitting up over 7 years I'll change the belt. Daily driver I'll change it every 100k. Actually you could get close to 200k on the timing belt but the water pump and the front oil seal go bad before then. Change the timing belt, water pump, oil seals, spark plugs/ wires, distributor caps, rotors, every 100k it will virtually last forever.
Scotty going 65 in a 35mph zone! Haha!!
I have this guy who bring this exact Lexus to work. I don't think I've ever seen it dirty and I always find it at the same exact spot to stare at, all polished and cleaned, he gives it so much attention. Now I know why lol
Thank you for the video
I used to work for an Acura dealership, and some vehicles trunks and hoods weren't aligned with the fenders. The paint on some of them didn't match. I shift my car in neutral then, pull the hand brake, and then shift it in park too.
My car has an epb and I always wait a second till engages before I let off the brake.
The now gone RLX had the best build quality as they were built in JAPAN until the end
Is this Matt Farah’s million mile Lexus?
Ah a man of culture
No. But I do plan on taking this LS400 to a million miles! Farah's million mile trek is what convinced me to buy this car.
@@RiixuHG very nice. I have a 2004 Lexus RX330 with 181,000 miles. Other than oil changes, tires, and breaks I have had 0 issues.
I changed the timing belt at 180,000 so I’m hoping it makes it to at least 300,000.
Honestly, I miss my old 1998 Lexus ES 300. Smooth ride, beautiful interior and simple design. I sold it after buying a used 2013 Lexus GS 350.
1995 Lexus LS400 bought it with 218k on it now has 248k I believe and it averages 22 mpg with premium.
