Who's owned their LS400 the longest?
I bought my 98 in December 2001 as a CPO with 48k miles on it. Now has 240,500 miles. Despite the inevitable minor age related problems, it's still bulletproof and I still love it as much as I did the day I took delivery. Except for a recent head unit upgrade, and worn parts repaired or replaced (alternator) it's still 100% stock.
Who are the other long term owners? Who's had his the longest?

I bought an LS400 new in early 1990 and sold it in late 2003. A few months before I sold the 90 LS in 2003, I bought a low mileage 2000 LS400 just after it came off someone else's 36 month lease. I'm still driving the 2000 which just had it's "birthday" - it's "in-service date" was 07/31/2000 and was about 208(?) from the last LS400 made.
So ... I guess I've racked up 23 1/2 years and well over 300,000 miles driving LS400's.

Kansas definitely dominates us on total ownership of the LS400 model... pretty hard to beat a guy who's owned them since the first year they were introduced!
But I think I'm still the leader on ownership of my current LS400, since Kansas made a switch in 2003

I wish I had caught on to these sooner... I did switch from Pontiac to Toyota in 1998...but didn't get on the Lexus wagon until 2010... but don't think I didn't want to. I was a slow starter but moved fast. In the immediate family we now have 3 430's and one 400... just sold the 95 LS400 with 141k miles on it last night to a another family member. So, while I started late, I have purchased 6 total LS'... don't see me buying anything else.... but not looking forward the the 460 move.... those just don't appeal to me.

I might be driving my previous 90 LS today if it had better headlights. The only reason I moved on was that I could not see to drive the 90 LS at night.
I've posted it many times over the years, but here again is a 2003 photo of "the twins". People who didn't know Lexus thought my 90 LS was a new car when I sold it in late 2003.
