Sorry for the wordiness of my last post to you, but forgot a very important issue. As this is a Lexus forum, there is also a Merceded forum, again not sponsored by Mercedes, but by owners. I suggest you call it up and read what the owners are saying. The websight is "www.benzworld.ord", look under "forums". Good Luck, Bob

This may be of some help for you. First I own a 1995 LS400, bought new, that my wife drives. I also own a 2002 Mercedes ML320, also bought new, that I drive. There is no comparison in the service departments, with the Lexus head and shoulders above the Mercedes. With the ML, I had a factory 50,000 mile warranty and even though something was obviousley broken, and obviously covered by the warranty, they acted like they were doing me a big favor to fix it. Now that I am out of warranty, I go to a local shop owned by a former Mercedes SA and he appreciates my business and is usaually about half the dealer cost. I recognize that the ML is not the car you are looking at, and that it is a truck, and drives like one. The LS400 Lexus is our second with the first being a 1995 ES 300. The ES300 had a sportier suspension and the LS 400 much softer. Both were excellent cars. Right now, I have no plans to buy another Mercedes, but have no qualms with another Lexus. Bob

I am looking for two new Toyo Proxes s/t 255 60 r17 tires. Anyone have available? Many thanks, Bob

Just curious, did the Cd give you an error message? My 1995 LS400 has recently refused to play and gives us an "error 23 or 24" Message. Bob

This unit is dash mounted but has recently quit playing, Gives me error 23. ANy idea what this means? I have been through this entire forum and found nothing to compare to. Many thanks

Thanks, I tried the cd holder and it goes in and comes out easily. All CD's are in corrrectly, but when the holder is installed, you can hear it trying to insert a disk with no luck, then error 23. I changed the disk number on the radio console and once again heard it trying to install the disk. then error 23 again. Once it gave me error 14 and I had to turn the power off and back on before the holder would come out. Bob

Does anybody know what error 23 means and the CD player does not work? 1995 LS400. Many thanks. Bob

My wife drives a 1995 LS400 that we bought new. Only 32,000 miles and pristine! AND NOT FOR SALE!!! But the Nakamichi stereo system has a CD player that has quit and shows error 23. Any idea what this could be? Many thanks Bob
