Aholda

thanks SW03ES that really helps...yes my heart is set on a Lex, has been for a while....so a 95-96? can give me some info on the ES, such as the generations and the yearly changes, via a link or you can take your time and type it :P I also like the ES so that is good to hear it will be much cheaper matinenence wise thanks again :D

also, since now I am having second thoughts on the LS, what about the ES, GS or even a SC, are they same with matienence, I really like the GS model, but they are hard to find around here for the same price, could someone shed some light and give me some good info about which of these would be best for a 18 year old 1st year college student thanks alot! :D

seeing these posts on that older thread, has got me thinking....maybe I'm not ready to own a LS yet, I know I couldnt afford the thousands of dollars a year for matienence who knows....

thanks alot, the info was great, I have read that the 93 was the best of the 1st generations :D also, I know this sounds like a dumb question but due to my lack of knowledge of mechanics what is rubber bushings etc....

I just noticed I posted this on the UK forum heres my orginal post Hello all, first of all, I'd like to say this is one of the most organized respectable, car forum website I have seen, the information is great. Currently I am driving a 99 Toyota Corolla, it's one of my mom's cars, she drives a Camry so she let me drive the Rolla. Ever since I have been interested in cars, which was about 10 years ago, I am 18 now, I have wanted a Lexus, my dad being a Finance Manager at my Uncles Dealership in my hometown he has drove home a variety of different cars, including a few Lex's. Although my dad could possibly help me get any car from the dealership I want, I have decided to be semi-dependent and try to help buy my first car. I recently found a 1993 LS 400 with 130000 for 6 grand at a local dealership. 1. Is that a good deal if the car is mechanically sound? 2. What kind of matienence costs am I gonna be looking at anually? 3. Could I get my car serviced at my uncles dealership for less? 4. How would you rate a 1993 LS, are they known to cause problems or are they very realiable if taken care of properly? I may have more questions soon, but if you all could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I can soon own my own LS and become a part of this excellent owners community
