Hi,
I've been looking for Lexus information and found your site. I have owned a 92 LS400 for about a year now and while I love it, I am deeply frustrated with all the repair hassle. We bought it from a lot that was closing for just over auction price (it has 121,000 miles). We knew it needed the timing belt replaced and new tires/alignment so we stood firm on the auction price approach. It has its age issues which are expected. Recently, we learned it will need rear shocks (the dealer in Allentown said they were not unsafe, and to wait until they absolutely need replacing because the parts alone are steep), the AC just quit in the last 2 weeks, and also in the last two weeks it has started to have sporadic power failures when in drive, but not while in neutral (the RPMs only rev in Neutral). My regular mechanic, who services only foreign cars, says it is a difficult car to work on and the Allentown dealer is an hour and 15 minutes away. You all seem to love your Lexus vehicles. I would like to keep mine, but am at wits end with upcoming repair. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel, or is this a car I will need a second job and running rental reservation to keep?
Help me before I trade it on a Chevy (I really am at wits end!).
Strack
