Default rare ls 400?

im not trying to be a douche or nothing, but i thought id like to hear from the people who know what there talking about, ive been told by a few people that the ls 400 i have is a very rare 1, and i wouldnt know that at all.


it does come with the lexus chrome wheels, which are for sale
it has trac control/air suspension
memory seats/heated seats/climate control/automatic tilt on steerwheel
and i still have the old school cellphone/came with the nakamichi system but that was completely replaced

just wondering if my ls is just like everyone elses, or it actually is rare like a few people say.

I thought air suspension on US spec LS400's was not an option so that would be rare if what I believe is correct.

Other then that, Sounds pretty standard not taking origin into the equation. My Celsior has all that plus more.

It might be rare like a 5-speed manual SC300... if they're so rare, how can there always be like 2 or 3 for sale in the classifieds section??

To me that options you list don't sound that rare - I think the LS400s with cloth interiors are more rare.

It sounds like just a fully loaded LS400 to me. (had to check your profile to see you have a 1994 model)

Yup, I second that. Cloth interiors are rare.

yea, what you have is pretty run-of-the mill, fully loaded 1st gens are rather easy to find.

now 98-00 cars with air susp/heated seats/plat series (2000 only) are rare.

Maybe "Unique" is more appropriate. The 1994 Anniversary LS400 is in that bucket even though its all cosmetic.
