Just following the rules (post: product, price, picture as stated in rules). Here ya go - enjoy.

Low Mileage 1998 Lexus LS 400 - For Sale

Florida Car, Dealer Maintained, 77,800 Original Miles on this Perfect Condition Lexus LS 400 with Professionally Installed “Audiophile” Sound System.


Reason For Selling? I Have Too Many Cars!

I purchased this vehicle in October of 2007 from Hollywood Motorcars located in Hollywood Florida. It was a one-owner car that was dealer maintained and had a clean Carfax Report. After much research, this was the nicest 1998 I could find with the “preferred” color combination. Shortly after my father sees my Lexus he decides to buy his own, although he springs for a new one! My father was trading in his 2000 BMW 5-Series, but I made an offer to buy the car from him for what the dealer was offering him in trade-in value. Long story short – I was able to obtain my father’s BMW for a price I could not refuse! Now I have four (4) cars: 2004 Honda Odyssey; 1990 Mazda RX-7 convertible; 2000 BMW 5-series; and my 1998 Lexus LS 400.

Reason To Buy This Car?

Because you are unlikely to find a nicer 1998 LS 400 anywhere! This car is an “Audiophiles Dream”! Whisper quiet ride with a professionally installed audiophile system that does not alter the dashboard in any way! Interested in what a “real” car stereo should sound like, you should stop by Precision Mobile Audio in Clifton Park with your favorite CD! The LS 400 has a smooth and powerful V8 engine that produces 290 horsepower with EXCEPTIONAL FUEL ECONOMY (MPG 19 City/25 Highway) for a luxury car of this size! Interested parties should research this vehicle. This is the “flagship” of the Lexus line, retailing at $53,200 in 1998. Why buy new when you can have all the luxury and power of a mint condition Lexus LS 400 for a fraction of the cost of a new one? Imagine the whisper quiet interior of a Lexus LS 400 equipped with a full symphony orchestra or blues band!

I'm getting the feeling you work in marketing..

Nice Car, though; but the price is a little over the top my friend, how about posting some pictures of the interior, and the sound system.

I believe this car was on Ebay not too long ago (IIRC).

Most likely listed by the guys at Hollywood. Nice looker... good luck with sale.

Hello,

Car has yet to sell so I am considering "expanding" my audience to ebay or Autotrader but do not want to violate the rules of Club Lexus. Please advise. Also, keep in mind, there is a significant (more than $2k) price job if someone is interested in purchasing this vehicle with the "stock" Lexus premium system in place.

Thanks, David

Thanks. Good thing I do not work in marketing because I have yet to sell this car! Interior is mint. System is as described in original e-mail. Keep in mind, there is a significant price drop (over $2k) if you opt for the car with just the factory "stock" Lexus audio system. I would rather sell it with the aftermarket sytem, but I am interested in selling the car.

Thanks, David

Default Must Sell - Significant Price Drop

Hi Everybody,

Ok, I get it...I will REDUCE the price. The car is STILL in the SHOWROOM, and I would really like to sell it. I promise you the car in MINT and NEEDS NOTHING.

Asking $13,999

Thanks, David

And $10,000 is more like the price of the car WITHOUT the existing system in it. I would have the original Lexus stereo re-installed to entertain such an offer.
