This Low-Mile 1994 Lexus LS400 is a Time Capsule
By Jakob Hansen

This barely-used luxury sedan brings back memories of what things were like in our younger days.

Beautiful time machine! But would have looked much better with the windows up. The slant of the rear windows is it's worst image.

lol on more than one occasion people have asked what's wrong with my back windows when they're rolled down, but that's how they get the windows to be just one piece of glass instead of the usual split

ive always thought the slanted back windows were one of the things that made these cars cool. ucf10s this clean are indeed very rare finds these days. hell ucf10s in general are and the few i still see are absolute clapped shot out smoke belching turds that have been abused for the last decade and are still somehow holding on. back in 01 when i got my 90, it was almost this clean and holy cow what a car it was. tried re-living that last year and got another 90. that car was nothing like the one i had back in the day. cant fix age.

This is a stunning example of an LS400. I would not have been surprised to see it sell for more than it did. $25k seems like a relative bargain.

Honestly, this is something that Jay Leno (or someone in a similar position) should buy. In 50 years, when ICE cars are long gone, Pristine examples such as these will be in museums!

Always like seeing these still on the road...reminds me that having a 1999 Lexus is still cool.

They should remake a commercial with the stacked wine glass while the wheels are rolling with this LS

Agreed! Would have made for a better shot. But beautiful car! And wow! It went for $25k!

It is in incredible shape. I too always liked the rear windows the way they pivoted when rolling down, very cool.
