billydpowell Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 got to where I cant drive safely at night, so I sold my black 99 yesterday, I just listed it monday and a dealer bought it... 243k but in great condition... we kept my wifes white one and put my 430 chrome wheels on it and it looks great to me..
landar Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 A dealer bought it? You must have given it away, Billy. ^_^
billydpowell Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 yes I priced it at $4500, and he brought cash..
Exhaustgases Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 You kept the good one. Black is just too hot in the sun, and shows every little imperfection dirt etc.
LEX-SV Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Nicely done, glad you got to keep the best LS.
Micah.Berry Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Ah well... We don't have "twinkie" cars anymore, Billy! Still - I'm glad that you kept an LS. Your posts have been EXTREMELY helpful to me. Are you going to replace the LS with something else? Micah
VBdenny Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I always have mixed emotions when selling a vehicle. On one hand, having the extra space and not having the related expenses is a positive but on the negative, I often miss the cars. I would seriously like to have a large climate controlled storage facility where I had every vehicle I have ever owned. Good choice keeping the white car. Black cars are just to hot in the southland.
billydpowell Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 no Micah, only an LS for me, I drive in the daytime, just not at night, the lights just blind me... yes Denny it looks funny with only one car in the middle of the garage... but I do like the savings and I cant imagine ALL my cars in one place, they would sure be worth a ton now..
lenore Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Your car was beautiful....Hope somebody enjoys.
pj8708 Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 We will now observe a moment of silence for our departed friend, the LS - 1999 good and faithful partner. I don't know if the LOC is any different than say Club Lexus, but have you ever taken note of the number of postings there are here for legend/Classic Lexus models from the 1990's ? It is amazing to me that those who take great care of there LS for example, will often show 100,000 to 200,000 and above mileage and still run like a "top." Reliability has always been important to Lexus engineers as the years have gone by.
landar Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Well Paul, Billy did a similar posting on CL...so, as of this posting, LOC has 9 replies and 425 views (not including this one) to CL's 16 replies and 511 views. The views are not too far apart but the replies are 2:1. Interesting, no? ;)
LEX-SV Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Interesting? Maybe, been there, done that. At CL, usually just more crap to sift through before getting to anything useful.
LEX-SV Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Agreed, I'm very familiar with both. My comments above did not say one was more useful than the other.
occupant Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Billy, I can only hope I can find a deal like your car when it comes time to buy. Well cared for regardless of mileage, priced reasonably, looking that clean, and driving right. Spring is right around the corner, I have a lot of cars to tow between now and then, and while I probably won't be spending over $3000, there are plenty of LS400's that are under $3000 out there. It'll be a matter of which ones are available at that time, which of them I can afford, and which one of those has had the best care.

Hi Alan, welcome to LOC, I really was hesitant to let it go, but it was time... we dont travel anymore and most of the time both were just in the garage... and it saves a little insurance and taxes.... I am sure the 95-97 are holding up real good. I have always thought they were the "toughest" or best Lexus has ever made, so strong, we had several but we fell in love with the 98-2000 softer ride and extra add-ons..... so we will probably drive hers until the Lord calls us home.... and speaking of Him, I have always ask Him to lead me to a real good car.... you can too.. Cheers bp
