Hello, newbie here. I have been reading the forum for a while and finally decide to go for a LS400. I love the gen2.5 and think (personally) the body style is best looking LS so far. My dream car is a 2000 LS400 blk/blk with nav. I have been looking for a while too, just didn't find any yet. Recently a friend of mine is selling his 97 LS400 blk/blk with 130k, all services done at the dealership (water pump, timing belt, etc). Exerior and interior looks very clean too. He is upgrading to a new LS430 so he wants to sell this one for $13k. Would this be a reasonable price for the car and condition? What should I be looking out for as far as possible things to go wrong in this 97' LS400? What's the main difference between gen2 and gen2.5? Should I be holding out for my dream car gen2.5 or this is a good deal I should jump on it. A lot of question for my 1st post, thanks in advance for the help.
