Any Problems With 96 Models?

[denajohn]

I have a 96 Lexus with 83K miles on it. It is out of warranty and my husband is nervous about things that may start to go wrong on the car. I'm wondering what problems owners of older Lexus's have experienced, if any?

Thanks for your input

OC gaskets, motor mounts, cv boots, burnt out needles in the instrument cluster, I'm sure I'm forgetting some common ones....

burnt out gauge cluster needles, DEFINITELY.

basically everything nabeel said, and quite possibly transmission.

some minor ones might be power antenna and struts wearing out.

most everything nabeel mentioned happens to every '92-'96 gen ES.

it's almost impractical for it not to happen. but some don't face these threats.

the burnt needles would be the worst and hardest to fix. since the needles can't just be taken off and have new ones put on.

i have only my fuel needle left. it's crazily hard to see my speed at night. <_<
