Ricko101 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wanted to take the time and thank all the members of this forum and especially all those who contributed to the "Buying Guide" and related postings. This forum is extremely helpful and full of information. I will recommend it to others. I was set on a 95-97 S500 or S420, but came across on what I think is a good deal. '95 LS400 with 79,400 mile. Carfax certified. Always dealer serviced (with receipts on hand). New Michelin tires, new battery. $7,100. Souther California car all of it's life. Senior citizen owned. New power steering and hoses... Antenna... and 60k miles service; all done at dealer. I could not pass it up! I just drove it home today. I must admit, it really is a nice car. My wife will mostly use it, as I have a 01 BMW 740i Sport. But I'll be sure to take it out once in a while. Now... It needs a CD player since this one does not have one.... Well, again, thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarman4 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Are you sure there isn't a disc changer in the trunk that your not noticing? I thought all older LS's came standard with multi-disc units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko101 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 No... in fact, as I took it home, I looked at the owner's manual to see where it would be: Front glove compartment and it is listed as an optional item... <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymsixsix Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Congratulations Rick!!! She looks just like my LS minus the chrome wheels. On the '95 LS, if there is a factory cd player/changer, it will be in the top glove compartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your new rig! It looks great, and I'm sure it will provide you with many years of faithful service. Has the ECU ever been changed?

blake918 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I looked at the records, no ECU was changed... should I be worried?Maybe, it depends on how it drives. It would be nice if it was already done, but let's hope you won't experience these problems in the first place! Take a look at this thread: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...&hl=jerkingThese problems creep up at differing mileages. Mine was replaced before 50,000 miles, while it seems like most people see the problems closer to 100k miles.

90LS400Lexus Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Its a beautiful car! How rare that a 95' LS does not have the optional CD player...... I thought that by 1995, it was standard on the LS's, but I am not that familiar with the 95+ models when it comes to options, etc. Looks like you have a winner!

dashan Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's quite a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc211 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That's quite a good deal. Man, I'd have to agree with that, considering I sold my 95' with 132k on the clock for $7,500 just a couple of months ago, and cost of living here in NC is far cheaper than out there in CA. Good deal amigo! You'll love the car, no doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko101 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks guys... that's why I could not pass it up. Maybe I'll sell it and make a couple of Gs... LOL Nah... it's destined to serve me for a long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
