Time to let her go, I just can't find a reason to keep this car, even though I'm really sad about it! Original owner car, sort of... My Dad bought the car new in late 1990 from Larry Miller Lexus in Salt Lake City - I inherited it 1998 when he passed away. I drove it daily for a few years, but for the last 8-9 years it's been a spare car, and driven just 3-4 times a year. It was always garaged, and even covered while garaged, in the ideal climate of northern San Diego county. My hope is someone will buy this car, and use and enjoy it, appreciating how special it was 25 years ago, and even today. This is a somewhat rare 'full-spec' car, in Burnt Walnut and Gray combination, with a tan leather interior. It has the Air Suspension, Nakamichi audio system with trunk CD changer, gold emblem package, chrome wheels, factory car cover, sunroof, rear window sun shade - just about everything that was available on these cars at the time. Mileage is 180,000 or so, and it's been routinely maintained, passes California smog with flying colors, and looks great for a 25+ year old car - but it's not perfect. It needs some of the door speakers replaced, and the A/C switched to R134. As far as I can tell, everything else works just fine - even the motors that power the seat belt mounts up and down, and the air bladders in the drivers seat! It's smooth, quiet and powerful. If you are serious and may be interested in this car, please PM me and we can talk and well as get you more photos and details. I'm realistic about it's value, and it's more important to me that it gets some care and enjoyment, and not sit in someones back yard and rot away. Thanks for looking!

I'm a long-time owner and a new-ish member. I think this is my first post, at least in a long time. My car - a 1991 LS400 - was bought new by my Dad in 1991. I inherited it in 1998 and drove it daily until 2002 when it became a spare car, and only gets driven about 500 miles a year. I pay my neighbor $60 a month to let me park it in his garage, where it lives under it's original factory car cover. Here are it's details: 1991 LS400 'Full-Spec' car: Air-suspension, factory chrome wheels, Nakamichi system, rear window shade, TRAC, seat heaters, trunk mat, etc. Color: Walnut with tan interior. Current miles: 185,000. Current issues with it: - A/C is not blowing cold - Only 1 of the speakers work (left rear door) - Steering rack is slowly leaking - Left front spindle needs to be replaced - Dome light won't come on with either front door Stuff I've done to it: - Normal stuff: Tranny flush, timing belt, new rotors/pads, air filters, battery, cooling system flush, etc. - Replaced A/C part (looked like a small radiator - accessed thru passenger footwell) - Replaced 2 front air shocks at $900 each It will sit for 6 months at a time, and always starts on the first try, right away. Runs smooth and quiet, handles excellent! I prefer it to my wife's 2005 Acrua TL! Anyway, I'm looking for some tips on getting it's current issues resolved at the lowest cost, while still doing it right. Thanks in advance for your tips and advice!

My 1991 LS 400 has the Nakamichi head unit and the entire right side has gone out. I'm looking to either replace it with a working used one, or a newer head unit with a install kit. Anyone have a used one to sell, or suggestions for replacement?? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Dave
