My new ride: LS400

[rojo412]

I sold my 94 Camry wagon and not 5 minutes later, an LS pops up on craigslist. It just so happens to belong to an acquaintance of mine and I've drooled over the car many times. And today was my lucky day! Well, yesterday sort of, but I get to take the car today, so WOOO HOOO!

1990 LS 400, 210k (or so) well maintained miles. Lowered a little on performance suspension, 2 sets of wheels - winter 16 with snows, summer chrome 18s (forgot make, but are sweet), interior leather was all redone to brand new oem black leather, power everything and it all works, body has a little rust, but I'm in Cleveland, OH and any 20 year old car that runs has rust (this is less than most, though). And it was only slightly more than my Camry sold for, so I couldn't resist. Knowing the owner and his history was key, but I can't deny that the fact that the NEW interior was something i could pass up.

Pics will come, but to the experts... what should I be on the lookout for on this car? I don't know much about them, honestly. I just know that a 250hp RWD car w/traction control makes me quiver a little bit with joy.

Good for you, that you got the car you wanted. I'm not an expert on the LS400. It does have a timing belt, that you can check and/or asked if it has been changed, and also the oil, crankshaft and camshaft seals, check and/or ask if they have been replaced or looked at, and I believe it requires occasional valve clearance check and/or adjustment.

Congrats on the purchase!! The timing on that really was perfect!
