Used 2000 Lexus LS 400

Few vehicles in the luxury segment have left a mark quite like the 2000 Lexus LS 400—a vehicle that not only helped redefine the expectations of high-end sedans, but also solidified Lexus’ reputation for engineering precision, technological advancement, and unmatched cabin tranquility. Representing the final evolution of the revered second-generation LS, this example stands as a rare opportunity to acquire one of Lexus’ most iconic flagship sedans, showing just 55,891 miles since new. Finished in a striking black exterior over a matching black leather interior with elegant wood grain accents, this LS 400 presents a timeless aesthetic that complements its refined mechanical excellence. It is also accompanied by a clean Carfax report. At the heart of the LS 400 lies the renowned 4.0-liter DOHC V8, an all-aluminum engine equipped with Lexus’ sophisticated VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) system. Rated at 290 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, this powerplant is paired to a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, delivering a remarkably smooth and responsive driving experience. Independent testing during its era revealed that this powertrain was capable of propelling the LS 400 from 0–60 mph in just 6.3 seconds, outperforming several competitors with larger displacement engines. Its combination of precision power delivery and quiet operation earned it widespread praise among automotive experts and enthusiasts alike. The 2000 model year introduced several enhancements that further refined the LS 400’s capabilities. Most notably, Brake Assist was added to the existing Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) system, offering additional safety intervention by detecting emergency braking and maximizing stopping power when necessary. A newly integrated onboard refueling vapor recovery system allowed the LS 400 to comply with transitional low-emission vehicle standards, underscoring Lexus’ forward-thinking approach to efficiency and environmental responsibility. Child seat anchor-brackets also became standard, contributing to the LS 400’s comprehensive safety suite. Inside the cabin, Lexus’ commitment to quiet luxury and intuitive functionality is immediately apparent. Both front occupants benefit from power-adjustable, heated leather seats, offering individualized comfort for long-distance touring. The dual-zone automatic climate control system features an activated charcoal air filtration system and a smog-sensing recirculation mode, allowing both driver and passenger to maintain their ideal climate settings with ease. Adding to the sense of openness and sophistication is a power-operated sunroof, offering natural light and ventilation at the touch of a button. Technology was a focal point of the LS 400’s interior architecture. The signature electroluminescent gauge cluster delivers crystal-clear instrumentation visibility day or night. Every control and surface reflects Lexus' philosophy of seamless operation and enduring quality. This particular LS 400 is a 2-owner vehicle, a point of significance for those seeking a car that has seen limited hands over its lifetime. With under 56,000 miles accumulated and a clean Carfax report, it represents a uniquely low-mileage example of a platform that has become increasingly sought after by those who value engineering integrity, timeless design, and unparalleled comfort. In a landscape where luxury sedans often prioritize flash over substance, the 2000 Lexus LS 400 remains a benchmark of quiet excellence and mechanical harmony. With its powerful V8 engine, advanced chassis systems, and serene interior ambiance, this LS 400 stands as a compelling choice for the discerning buyer seeking a flagship sedan that continues to embody the gold standard of its class.
