'98 LS400 with Odd option combination
Hello,
I'm new to the board and am very happy to see the community as robust with help and technical information as it is. The last LS400 I owned was several years back and a '95.
I'm on a search for a '98/99 and have found one but I'm a little confused by options.
The car has air suspension (and of course the Nak stereo), it doesn't have the wood package on the shifter and steering wheel, but does have heated seats. The dealer is telling me it doesn't have HID headlights.
My problem is I'm 800 miles away from the car and the dealer who has it asked me what xenon was, so I'm not sure they would know xenon if it had them.
Is it even possible the car could be optioned this way?
Thank you for your input, I look forward to being as much help as I can to the board.

Does it have a sunroof? I believe the sunroof was in a package with the HID headlights. You could always get the VIN and call a Lexus dealer. They should be able to tell you about the car.

So basically, if it has this option, then it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that it will have everything else (except that you would have either the NAVIGATION SYSTEM, OR the Nakamichi sound system, since they were not available together.). IMHO, the Nakamichi is a FAR FAR better choice, since the Nav system is hopelessly obsolete by now, and the fidelity of the Nakamichi system is in a class by itself (and besides, Lexus Nav systems are not the best - Acura systems, made by Alpine are the best) .........FYI, I've installed the latest Alpine NVE-N872A Nav system (with XM NAVTRAFFIC real time traffic info), and backup camera in my LS.
The leather steering wheel and shift **** were options only in 1998 but standard in the 1999 and the 2000 model years.
