zenlama Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Hi Everyone, I am new to this board, and am also a new Lexus owner. I just purchased a 1992 LS 400. It has 60,121 miles. Pearl White, Leather heated seats, Moon Roof, Nakamich with 6 CD changer and I guess all the options. This car looks and feels loke a new car. I love it. :) As far as I can tell, everything works. Since I got it though, it seems the brightness switch for the panel lights is no longer working. It is locked on brightest. I can live with that. This is the first car I ever owned. I always leased new Toyota Camry's, or other new cars. So I'm a little shaky about a 12 year old car. But I plan on keeping this car a long time. I just hope I won't have to start shelling out for repairs too soon. I look forward to learning from all the experienced Lexus owners here, that may give me an edge as a non-mechanic. Robert
VMF Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 thats a pretty nice car and a pretty big picture i have to say:) i have to scroll to the right to see it:)
90LS400Lexus Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Robert- will the lights dim when you turn the switch when the headlights are turned on? On my 90 LS400, the lights will not dim, even by the switch, unless the parking or headlights are on. This is a safety feature I guess. Let us know if this works. BTW- nice car. It is not even yet broken in at 60K. My 90 LS has 227,750.
zenlama Posted March 3, 2004 Author Posted March 3, 2004 Yeah, sorry the picture is so big. I have to get the hang of it here. I tried to put in size, but it didn't take. I will make the source photo smaller. Anyway, I will have make much better pictures now.
zenlama Posted March 3, 2004 Author Posted March 3, 2004 Hi, Thanks for the tip. You are correct. The light dimmer only works when the headlights are on. I guess that makes sense, daylight would have brightest panel.
ayan Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 I also just got my 1990 Lexus, though with only 49,000 miles and change on it!!! Practically brand new feel.
VBdenny Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Hi Robert, Great to have you as a member of LOC. I love your car, it is beautiful. New Jersey also has a special place in my heart as well as my wife works in Roseland NJ which is where our LS is currently garaged. In essence, you have a nearly new $40,000 car. I have several repair tutorials on file from me and others (such as Oberg) so let me know if you need anything. i have brakes (by Me) throttle body cleaning (by Curt Oberg) and automatic tilt wheel gear repair. I also have notes I have saved on some other stuff. Anyway, enjoy you LS, you are driving the finest vehicle in the world (in my opinion). The only really big problem I had with my LS, is that the first time my wife drove it, she claimed it. She said it is the best driving car she has ever had. I said, uh huh. denny
