the only options I can think of available for that year that aren't on the car are the air suspension and the car phone.

I took out some coolant because it was leaking out the top of the reservoir. Maybe I took out a little too much, but it did stop leaking. No difference in operating temps tho. Personally, I think those level lines are up too high on the expansion tank.

Super nice... I thought the photos were taken in 1991 until I saw the newer cars in the background.

Nicely optioned too I see! Traction control, power telescope, memory seats, etc. Does it also have air ride struts?

One thing, did you change your coolant lately? It looks a little low, or is that normal? I have no idea... mine stays up higher than that, but it may be overfull on mine... never really noticed what those lines indicate....

Again, super nice car! Take good care of her! Shes a beaut!

Finally got around to taking some pics of my LS. It's amazing how many comments I get about it looking like a 3 - 4 year old car. Lexus sure took their time planning this model and got it right from day one. It's got 254,000 KM. So far, I've replaced the starter, a/c high side hose, and repaired the trunk wiring harness. IS400 mentioned something about experiencing a change in performance when she fixed hers. Could be my imagination, but after the repair, the car feels quicker like it has more torque. I'll get around to doing the climate control display eventually.

Everything is stock. No mods - no aftermarket! Need new tires - maybe around springtime. Like the idea of cooled seats - will have to wait until I get a 430. When I do, the 400 will prob become a project car. Engine teardown, suspension overhaul, etc. Wife wants this car to last forever. Was going to do that with the Volvo, but decided it wasn't worth it. Well guys and gals, here's my baby. Nothing you haven't seen before, but a fair example of what these cars can look like when you take care of them.

Thanks guys. Python you're right about the mats. I also forgot to do the tires before taking the shots. You'll just have to take my word for that they look great now. Those are actually aftermarket mats out of the Volvo which I don't drive in the summer. Guess I can add mats to the list for spring.

Funny story that. Just before we last moved, I shampooed the carpet and took the mats out to let the floor dry. Well in the confusion of packing for the move, they got left behind with a few other car supplies. I usually buy regular service items like fluids & filters in bulk. Sooooo ... wouldn't you know it, along with those supplies and a few others like shop towels, hand cleaner, etc., the floor mats got left behind and eventually were either thrown out or taken home by somebody. At least I didn't forget the dog. But I'm rather good at that kind of thing. Like leaving cases of pop behind in the shopping cart because they're at the bottom and I never check that area before leaving.:chairshot: Wife doesn't let me buy pop anymore. Now if I could only remember to take the change with me when I leave the store.

Beautiful, beautiful car! At least you didn't have my experience with the mats - left them on top of the garbage can overnight after cleaning my carpets - forgot that the garbage truck ran in the morning - yep! He took my floor mats!!

Gorgeous!!!
Mine is the same color...beautiful blue.

Very nice! It's always a pleasure to see someone who takes care of their equipment. I've wheeled and dealed a lot through the years and never had a problem selling anything I put up for sale. I've literally sold some in a matter of a few hours! We once owned a beautiful 1992 Lincoln Mark VII LS. It was a stunning electric current red. We placed it on a resale lot over one hundred miles away and I received a call from a fellow who wanted to buy it. I wasn't able to meet him until two weeks later due to my work schedule, so this guy drove down and paid cash. He said it was the first car he ever bought without at least hearing it run or taking it for a test drive. His comment to me was "as good as the car looked it showed the care I had given it". He later called me and said he was perfectly satisfied. It's a testament to taking care of what you own! Congratulations on a fine job. When you make the move to a 430 I'm sure you'll take as good care of that as well. From a "little further up north"!

That LS makes mine look like its ready for the salvage yard. lol.

Its been over two years since this was posted... I wonder if the car is still this pristine?

Laney, you won't believe it, I found my mats! Wife had rolled them up with some area rugs and never told me about it. Cleaning out the garage one day this summer and tada, mats! Of course I not only get my mats but now she owes me!


Thanks vroom8.


Thanks Brett. I figure if it's worth buying, then it's worth taking care of. Yeah pretty much everything I have is in good shape except for maybe my old sneakers. Funny how they disappear once they get nicely broken in ... gotta ask the wife if she knows anything about that.


Same mint condition as before. Check out some recent pics down below. Not that hard to do. No snow and no salt sure helps. Even the volvo looks good, will have to post some pics. Your collection looks to be not too shabby. I do like some of the vintage American Iron ... just dig up some of the LeadSled posts I made last year.















Oh yeah, and chelsea just wanted to say hello!
