LEXUS is proud of its sports sedan. It is the late 19GS.

The aero parts are by AIMGAIN, a very popular manufacturer.

It is equipped with an air suspension system that allows the vehicle height to be raised or lowered at will.

The wheels are MAVERICK 709M wheels, which have the luxury that is appropriate for a sedan.

Here’s a question: how much do you think ALESS sells these cars for？

Nowadays, everyone knows about LEXUS. However, about 20 years ago, there was no LEXUS in Japan. This is because LEXUS was TOYOTA’s luxury car brand developed overseas, mainly in the United States.

In 1989, LEXUS introduced the first generation LS, which was characterized by reliability and economy that only a Japanese car could offer. And in just a few years, LEXUS became a luxury car brand that MERCEDES BENZ and BMW had to be aware of.

TOYOTA cars launched by LEXUS

LS (CELSIOR), GS (ARISTO), ES (WINDOM), IS (ALTEZZA), SC (SOARER), LX (LAND CRUISER CYGNUS), GX (LAND CRUISER PRADO), RX (HARRIER)
　
※Between 1989 and 2004.
※ ( ) is the Japanese name.

LEXUS entered the global market in 1989, and finally made its triumphant return to Japan 16 years later in 2005. The important first model released at that time was the 19GS. 19GS was LEXUS’ first work in the Japanese market. The 19GS we are about to introduce to you is a vehicle that bears such a history.

Nowadays, it is well established that LEXUS = Spindle. However, at the time of its triumphant return, it followed the design of TOYOTA’s previous luxury cars. 19GS is the successor of 16ARISTO. So it is somewhat Aristo-like, with its 4-light headlights, etc. Many people say they prefer this clean design to the recent LEXUS design.

This complete spec 19GS can be purchased at ALESS. The aero parts are installed pure VIP series by AIMGAIN, a very popular manufacturer.

Like the aero system, the wheels and suspension are also equipped with parts from very popular manufacturers. Whether these customized used cars are cool or not depends on the previous owner’s taste. This 19GS is a combination of parts from AIMGAIN, WEDS, and IDEAL. It is cool without any complaints. We can feel the previous owner’s good dress-up sense.

Air suspension is very popular these days. The vehicle height can be lowered at events and raised when driving. This convenience is the reason for the popularity of air suspension.

IDEAL AIRMAX

The air suspension installed is the IDEAL Air Max model. Of course, the vehicle height can be raised or lowered at will. Moreover, it is a solenoid valve type, so it moves fast. The fact that it is remote-controlled and can be adjusted from outside the car is also impressive.

ALESS MAGAZINE recommends the LEXUS 19GS, which is now available at ALESS. By now, you must be wondering about the price of this car.

The price is 870,000 yen. The total price including other expenses is 1,090,000 yen. In Japan, you can buy it for this price. The standard loan is 60 payments of 20,900 yen per month. With monthly expenses this low, it should be within reach.

Of course, the reason it is so inexpensive is because it has a long mileage of 144,000 km. The longer the mileage, the more at risk the car is of breaking down. However, if you really like this car, it is worth buying even if the mileage is high.
