VALS4001995

Just joined this group to learn more about my LS400 1995. Only last year (2013) did my instrument cluster start to go....I guess that is not too bad a track record. Just wanted to share that I have a Lexus certified service guy who has his own shop and he quoted me about $500 recently. My brother found a guy on eBay who offers the same service for less than $150, but you have to send yours to him, which means you're without one and using a 2nd car for 10 days or so, or in a rental car. I'm thinking the guy on eBay is the same person everyone else is using. My brother is encouraging me to remove it myself and get a rental. Has anyone done this? Appreciate your assistance. I love this car -- has over 200,000 miles on it and I have no desire to own anything else, unless it is a truck.
