Hello everyone
I'm looking to pickup a mint 96 LS400 with roughly 85k miles as long as it checks out okay. I have orginally completed a "quick" lookover of the car and so far the only problems i can tell of is the radio LCD isn't quite working but i know it's a commom problem.
I was also concerned about how high the cold start idle was BUT have recently found out that they just idle high cold before it comes out of cold start mode. So no big deal, i can live with that.
Can anyone give me some good estimates for changing the following:
timing belt
water pump
tensioners
idler pulleys
I have called a few local Lexus dealerships and it seems it will be around the $1200 range everything. Sound about right?
Also any new buyer tips or things to look for would be helpful. I have already been doing a lot of searching and reading and am excited to possibly buy my LS400.
Last question:
A local Lexus dealership said they could do an inspection for $120, do you think it's worth it?
Thank you
