Info about this vehicle:

1990 Lexus LS400 - Black over Two-Tone Tan Leather - 176,156km - 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8, JDM Import with VIP Modifications
1990 Lexus LS400 | 4-Door Sedan | 4.0L V8 Petrol | 4-Speed Automatic | Rear Wheel Drive | 176,156km | 5 Seats | Black
Description
When Lexus launched the LS400 in 1989, it sent shockwaves through the luxury car world. The 1UZ-FE, a 4.0-litre quad-cam 32-valve V8, delivered refinement that embarrassed cars costing three times the price. This particular example is a JDM Toyota Celsior (UCF11), the Japanese-market twin of the LS400, imported to Australia and re-badged with Lexus emblems. It has been tastefully modified in the Japanese VIP style, which suits the Celsior platform perfectly.
The black paint presents with deep gloss and strong reflections across all panels, with consistent panel alignment throughout. No visible dents, rust, or paint defects from the photos. The car sits on aftermarket multi-spoke polished alloy wheels with a deep-dish concave design, likely a Japanese brand such as Work or SSR, paired with red-painted brake calipers. Inside, the two-tone tan leather shows honest wear, with the driver's seat displaying moderate cracking and crazing on the seat base, typical of 35-year-old Japanese leather that has seen regular use. The rear seats are in noticeably better condition. VIP touches include a WALD badge on the dashboard, an aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel, wood-grain shift knob, and a Pioneer MIXTRAX touchscreen head unit. The 1UZ-FE V8 sits tidy under the bonnet with an aftermarket cold air intake filter and a relatively new battery. An aftermarket subwoofer is fitted in the boot.
The 1UZ-FE is widely regarded as one of the most reliable V8 engines ever built, and good examples of the LS400/Celsior are climbing in value as JDM enthusiasts recognise their significance. A clean 1990 LS400 sold on Bring a Trailer for US$13,450 (approx A$20,000) in January 2026. VIP-modified Celsiors with this level of presentation typically trade in the A$5,000 to A$15,000 range in Australia depending on condition and spec. Comes with one key, Lexus owner's manual, club registration log book, and a folder with receipts.
