Helloo.. My wheels are inside my wheelwells..

I love them and reccomend them to others.

Cheers to LEXUS..

You definitely need to lower the car!! The gap between the tires and wheelwell looks like you are going 4-wheeling. It would look 100 times better if you lowered it.

Gap, schmap. It's a Lexus, not a Civic. :D

Different strokes and all... but I don't quite see the appeal of doing that to such an otherwise elegant car.

My new LS400 (1994) has a chip in the windshield -- how much should I expect to pay for a complete replacement, and, can I use one of those quality auto glass companies or do I need to go spend $800 for OEM at the dealer?

Also -- does anyone have a suggestion for great tires for this car?

Thanks,

JH

nobody does a timing belt /water pump at a dealer and doesnt remember doing it. Must customers will quote you the price 3 years after they had it done

What was represented to me was that the original buyer had it done -- but not at a dealer. I think this is one case where I am going to take their word for it.

Thx,

I just bought a 1994 LS400 with 80k miles. The car was a one owner trade in per the dealer and carfax. They seemed to stop using Lexus for service at about 60k with the 60k service. Here's the question -- I did not see any Lexus record of the timing belt / water pump etc. being replaced. However, the dealer (local Chrysler place that's been around for decades) called the owner who said that recently they did all of that work.

So basically -- I think I am stuck taking their word for it, right? Anyone have any easy way to check?

Also, funny thing happened with this. It was through this purchase that I learned that my other lexus ls400 (which I have owned for about 5 years) is not a 1994, but rather a 1993. When I looked at the engine compartment of the new car -- it was completely different from my other car. I thought that was kind of funny...

In any case, my original LS has been a tank. I am hoping for similar luck with this car. All appearances suggest it's in great shape -- but I'm a little leary on this timing belt thing...

Thanks in advance!
