  1. I'm going to be in the market for a GS300 with around 100k on it in a couple months. I'm 6'5", and curious if there is much of a different between driver's space in a 1st gen and 2nd gen. I'm leaning more towards a 93-97, with the considerately lower price, and am coming up short with reasons to get a 98+ (I actually dislike the 1st gen rear lights). Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks, cyphatic
  2. I'm tempted to make a loan, of course after checking it out, but there's a 93 LS400 listed about 50 miles away, short listing though: "LS400 1993, only 58k mi, silver, black leather, perfect cond. $10,499" KBB says $9000 in excellent condition, but I'm thinking about the premium for silver and black. What is the fair price on this automobile if everything is in working order? -Cyphatic
  3. Great, thanks for the help guys. I think I was just having bad luck in my initial searches. Was the black interior an option on all exterior colors?
  4. I'm trying to figure out how much of a premium finding an LS400 with a black interior is worth, as in comparison to what other options are available. So to find this out, I'm curious if anyone knows how much it would cost to have the interior reappolstered in black, and if there are parts available for the rest. All i've found so far are floor mats, and I'm figuring with the price of genuine lexus parts it wouldn't be worth the trouble, but I just wanted to check. I'm also curious if there's actually anyway to change the color of a leather interior, through staining or what not, but not something that will just scuff off like leather-paint. Thanks, Cyphatic
  5. First off, I'd like to give a big hello to all the LS400 owners out there. This section of the forums has definately contributed to my decision to purchase one of these great vehicles. I'm planning on getting an LS400 in June. My budget will be around $10000. I'll have it in cash, so I should be able to get a good deal on one. I've read the guides and understand what to look for, and on top of that I'll have my dad with me to scope them, who is a hell of a mechanic. It seems the main problem I'm going to have is finding one with a black interior. This is actually the only feature of the car that's really important to me. All the other frills are nice, but I want a black interior. I'm fine with all the exterior colors available as well. I just have a hunch that the best LS400 I find (as far as mileage, condition, and price) will have the tan. I'm not trying to at all disrespect the natural color of a tan interior, I just prefer black, especially since I do alot of night driving. So what I'm inquiring about is how much of a premium finding an LS400 with a black interior is worth, as in comparison to what other options are available.

I know this belongs in the detailing forum, where I'll post as well, but I wanted to ask people who had a handle on how much parts for the ls400 go for. Thanks, Cyphatic
