I'm not sure what you mean by exciting. If you drive Z cars then exciting might be great handling and stick shifting. A LS isnt going to give you much of either of those two. You will get comfort, passion and pride of ownership. If your getting older and looking at giving your body a break then this is the car for sure. People look at my 91 and think it's no more than a couple years old. It drives like new also. An older LS400 has got to be one of the best deals out there. It looks like you already found that out. Buy that 92 and start giving us every detail about your car. Besides getting the car,look at all the new Lexus nut friends you will meet here! One guy calls his car Miss Lexus. I cant stand when my car gets dirty,my neighbors think I'm a freak. But they don't understand , they dont own a LS400. ← Thanks for the reply, and yes I guess I am getting older and needing to give the body a break. I hope to arrange to see the car soon, and the owner stated that all scheduled service was performed at the local Lexus dealer. One concern to me is the timing belt. On my TwinTurbo, the recomendation from Nissan is every 60K miles or 5 years. I haven't been able to find a recommended time frame for the Lexus, and will try and use this to negotiate the price. Does anyone here have any idea as to what the age limit would be for this procedure. Also, I plan on keeping my Z, since at 15 years of age, I still have people stoping to look, which is something that doesn't happen with my girlfriends new Mercedes!

Thanks for the rapid responces. The car is listed by an individual. I have not had a chance to look at the car, although I hope to soon.

Hello, I am very much a newbie to this board, as I have been driving Nissan Z cars since the early 80's. Now I'm looking for something to be a little more civil in my life, yet still provide the excitement that I've been accustomed to. I have found what I think is a great deal on a '92 LS400 with only 58k miles. What I want to know from anyone here is what to look for when checking this car out. At what point do the timming belts have to be changed, and basically how reliable is this model car. I'm looking at spending about 8K for this car, but have also seen newer models with about 100k miles selling for only a couple of thousand more. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
