There are good sheds and great sheds - then there is the LS400
If there was a voting sheet for the holy grail of shedding, the Lexus LS400 would surely feature on it in bold type.
The Lexus proposition of furious excellence extended way beyond the initial purchase too, thanks to Toyota’s equally uncompromising approach to customer service. Stories of white-coated technicians being helicoptered into remote owners’ properties to carry out servicing tasks sounded like urban myths but often turned out to be true.
Once, LS400s were ten a penny, but nowadays they’re a much rarer sight in the ‘to clear’ ads, which is why Shed hasn’t been able to bring you one in nearly six years. The last one on here in October 2017 was a fully-historied 1997 96,000-miler in Doom Blue that was going for £1,495, a price described by Shed at the time as ‘a bit rich’. Ah, how times change.
Shed had an LS once. He got rid of it because it was so quiet inside the cabin he no longer had any excuse for not hearing Mrs Shed’s random chunnerings. The motor should be virtually silent, and smooth enough to fool you into trying to start it when it’s already running. New belts and water pumps are due every 100,000 miles. If the gearbox isn’t delivering buttery changes it’s possible that the annual fluid and filter changes haven’t been kept up.
