Hi, First I am new to CL. Can't thank you all for all the helpful info/input for the decision making process in forums with the purchase of my 1993 LS 400 beauty. I have been searching for a well-maintained Ls 400. Always loved the older models. I found a 93 with 140,000 with all records from 2 miles. Got the price to 5,000 and then had my mechanic check out whom I trust. Found a small oil leak from bottom pan and he rec. that I change timing belt and water pump. I have verified this was done at 90k. Help with answers, as I don’t know why it should be changed again nor how that affects the oil leak. The quote to do the work is about $800 in which the owner obliged so my final purchased price was $4,200 and the only other two flaws were a stalling start new battery was just installed but sometimes the start is Lexus signature but not consistent (Help) and tachometer and speedometer sticking but odometer working. Ext and Int in ex condition otherwise, black beauty! Tapped on dash and it worked as suggested in one of the forums so now what?? Do the maintenance, get a second opinion?
