  • £1,044.07 invested with Lexus Liverpool in January 2026

The Appeal

Engineered to challenge the established German order, the Lexus LS600 represented the pinnacle of Japanese luxury motoring, pairing a smooth 5.0-litre V8 with the build quality and refinement for which the marque became renowned.

This 1997 example, showing 70,740 miles, has benefited from significant recent investment through the Lexus dealer network. Under current ownership, the car has been maintained exclusively by Lexus, with over £7,600 spent in late 2025 and early 2026 alone. This work included a service with new spark plugs, fresh brake discs and pads on all four corners, a replacement radiator assembly and air conditioning condenser, a new suspension arm set, and attention to various trim and ancillary items. Prior to the current keeper, the car was serviced by independent garages, and the history file includes stamps dating back to 2009 at just 8,102 miles.
The vendor describes the car as a wonderful example that is in terrific shape, needing only minor attention. With an advisory-free MOT valid until October 2027, this LS600 is well placed for its next custodian.
