jvcn Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi guys. New guy trying to join the club. Read through the buying guide but want any suggestions you can give. Does a 96 LS 400 with about 98000 miles sound ok for $11K? I will get a chance to bring it to a mechanic but since the guy is driving in from 2 hours away, he said that I had to be ready to pay for it if the mechanic gives it the thumbs up. It's black with gold package. New tires and regular service. 2 owner. He says he spent a lot to refresh the leather interior (has receipt). He has service receipts. One small ding. No other scratches or scuffs. My best guess is this guy is honest and meticulous. (I've talked to a lot of different sellers). Thoughts?

VMF Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 sounds good to me, i'm sellin mine with 135k miles for 10k so 11k seems normal price for the 97k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95LS400Bob Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 It blue books private party right at $11K. So sounds good. Just be sure to check everything works and make sure that mechanic looks at suspension real close, motor mounts and power steering. Those seem to tbe the trouble points.

jvcn Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 [How do you see miles versus the model year? I've seen decent 1997 LS 400s for about $12K with 120K miles. Is this better or worse than the 96 LS with 98000 miles for $11k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
