Caddylack

Well that's cool that you're familiar with the B/D-body cars. I was pretty sure the Lexus was gonna be slower in straight-line performance (especially since the Caddy is modded). That's not a big problem. If it was all about speed, I wouldn't be driving big sedans. What kind of performance parts are available for the LS400?

So, can traction control be turned off or is it always on?

I don't understand why people don't change their own oil. It's easier than tying your shoes.

I've hit 149mph in the Caddy multiple times. It still feels like it's floating at those speeds.

Right now my daily driver is a 94 Caddy Fleetwood. It's the biggest and most comfy car I've ever been in. It's RWD and it has the LT1 Corvette engine under the hood. It's more of a hot rod than a luxury car. However, I think the time has come to move on. I want something more refined, and something slightly smaller with better handling. I don't wanna sacrafice my beloved V8 and RWD. So, I've been looking for cheap luxury cars lately and I'm seeing alot of LS400's. I like the look of these cars and the interior is nice. The only thing that worries me is the high miles. Alot of the cars I've found have close to 200k on them. I was wondering how long these engines typically last, and if it even makes sense to buy a Lexus with like 180,000 miles on it. I figure I can get about $4000 for my Caddy, so that's my budget for the new car. Ideally, I'd spend like $2500-$3000 on the car so I'd have a little cash leftover for a stereo and maybe some rims. One thing I was wondering about... can you turn off traction control in the LS400? Thanks for any and all feedback. If all goes well, I'll be a regular on these forums soon. Matt
