Can you please walk me through how you accomplished this. Did you get a bill of sale paper or did you just put the $1 on the back of the car title? I want to get this done tomorrow Thanks.

I looked into that first before posting. The problem is my aunt is not 65+ yrs. Now one thing i can do is give it to my mom and then she hands it over to my aunt in about 1month but i dont want to go that route since i want to surprise her this saturday with it.

Hi, I don't know where else to post this so i figure i will just ask away here. Tomorrow i want to give my aunt my '94 LS400 lexus. I want to know if i can just sell it to her for $1000 and sign over the title. I really don't want her paying the state (Maryland) anything. It is her b-Day tomorrow and what a nice way to suprise her. Can Anyone provide me an EASY and painless way to do this. cenwesi@hotmail.com Thanks.

Yep, Lexusfreak and some other people really got this one right. These tires are GREATE!!!!! I never knew this car can be this quite and absorb bumps/put holes this good because of these tires. Who said it was louder.... I know for a fact that my ls430, all i hear is the engine noise (very little) and the well known air noise on the door when doing over +50mph. If anyone is looking to upgrade their tires, believe me this is the one you want on your ride.

Update!!!! Well yesterday i ended up going with the Falken zeix-512 225/55/Z17 ZR. This is the tire that should have come with this car. I mean NO MORE TIRE noise, no more when i run into a put hole, the noise the tire/car makes. I mean i can go on about some stuff i have notice just from yesterday and this morning regarding these tires on the car. To make a long story short, if ANY one is hunting for tires, look no further. Get the Falken Zeix-512 225/55/Z17 ZR, you wont regrete it. And thanks to thoes that helped in my other threads.

You are right. I broke down yesterday after doing over 8hrs of research on this tire and BOY i tell you are they right. You would think lexus with this luxury car will atleast have this sort of tires on these car or ALL their cars for that matter. This tire is great!!! The damn michelin that came with the car was too NOISYYY.... Even my old '94 ls400 tires i think were way better than the michelin. Anyway if any one is looking for a brand new michelin tire contact me and i will sell it for you REALLY cheap.

Just like the subject said. Who has it on their ls430 and what can you tell me about this tire. I want something that is QUITE and Smooth.

Thank you for that info... I believe this is stock rims that came with the '02 ls430 so i am guessing it is 17". How come TireRack don't carry the Yokohama Avid V4s 225/55/17. Does anyone know where else i can find these tires. Also what about the Yokohama Avid H4S 225/55HR17. Will this be as good as the v4s?

Well looked at tirerack and all they have is the Yokohama Avid V4S "225/60VR16" with Serv. Desc: 94V/97V. Will these fit into the '02 ls430. What about 225/55TR17 Yokohama Avid T4 Blackwall.

There is a lot of information on tires throughout the site, especially the wheels and tires section. You'll get a lot of good information. I chose the Yokohama Avid V4s and they are great!! I've put about 3,000 miles on them so far. I did my research and it was between them and the Toyo Proxes. I chose them because that had a higher traction rating and I got them at a cheaper price. Good luck. ← Thanks so where did you get yours from and if you don't mind me asking how much each?

Ok i have searched and still looking. Just too much info to decide which one to get. I have gone to several tire places locally and came acros these: 1) Yoko AS430 2) BF GoodRich Traction T/A 3) Sumitomo SRIXON4 All these tires are p255/55/17. So can someone pitch in and give me feed back. BTW, there are all seasons and is going on an '02 LS430. Thanks.

send me an email and i will run it for you. cenwesi@hotmail.com

1) Would anyone recomend a remote start for this car and if so which one? 2) Last but not least, i am sure there are tips and tricks on this car. Where on the net can i find these tricks. According the the book it says to go to lexus for that information.

As most of you will remmember i was in a hunt for an '00 LS400 or an '01 ls430. As luck might have it, i found the perfect one. An '02 LS 430 with 75k miles and the asking price a whoping $28k. I had to leave work ASAP to check it and and returned with the check. And today i already have the Tags here with me. Car drives and handles like brand new. BTW, i also got the extended warranty from my bank for this car though i doubt i will use it.

YEP!!! it is much bigger than my '94 ls400. And this thing can fly. I think i need new set of tires soon. Ohhh i just got inspection done (PASSED!) and then got the TAGS ;) What a beautiful day so far. Now i have to go to a meeting from 12pm->4pm :(

You are right. Mostly highway and he was asking for $28k. Picked it up and boy i must say this is way better than the ls400. Man i can't wait to figure out all this new gadgets in this car.

what sort of problems will an ls430 with 70k mileage have?, btw it is an '02

Ok guys i need some help. I am heading to Mayhem Pennsylvania auction tomorrow. I will be looking for a '99-00 LS400 or an '01 LS430. What are some things that i need to be looking for when i start checking these cars out on the lot? Thanks.

Mobile virus infects Lexus cars by David Quainton Lexus cars may be vulnerable to viruses that infect them via mobile phones. Landcruiser 100 models LX470 and LS430 have been discovered with infected operating systems that transfer within a range of 15 feet. "If infected mobile devices are scary, just thinking about an infected onboard computer..," said Eugene Kaspersky, head of anti-virus research at Russian firm Kaspersky. "We do know that car manufacturers are integrating existing operating systems into their onboard computers (take the Fiat and Microsoft deal, for instance)." It is understood the virus could affect the navigation system of the Lexus models, it transfers onto them via a Bluetooth mobile phone connection. It is still unclear whether the cars in question use the Symbian operating system which has recently been under attack from various worms and viruses. "At this stage it's still early but it just goes to show that technology has consequences," said David Emm, senior technology consultant at Kaspersky. "It's scary stuff." Vulnerable operating systems are increasingly moving onto a number of different devices. Last year the Slammer worm infected 13,000 Bank of America ATMs as a result of them moving to a Windows-based operating system. "I've even seen screenshots of major commercial aeroplanes with Windows 2000-based operating systems," said Mikko Hypponen, director of anti-virus research at Finnish firm F-Secure. "Cars are an obvious target for viruses. It's okay if you don't use the operating system for the engine and the brakes, but when you do..." Bill Gates is a known Lexus driver. In 1999 he auctioned one for charity. When contacted Lexus declined to comment. full link here http://www.infosecnews.com/news/index.cfm?...d&newsType=News

Is the navigation system in the '00 DVD and how much is it to get an updated version of the maps. Also can the same DVD in lets say '01+ ls430 be used in the '00?

Thank you very much can u send the information to uche@wam.umd.edu

here is the vin #... JT8BH28F3Y0180655 uche@wam.umd.edu

look at this picture of circuit board (93-94 LS400): C212 (16v/10uf) will be the one needed to be replaced. however, if you have 90~92 LS400, then there is no C212 on board according to lexls..... ← so for example the one that says c212 i will go to radio shack and get 16v/10uf capacitor to replace it with?

Ok i think i am more confused as to what capasitor(S) to get from Radio Shack to fix this cluster issue. Keep in mind my car when it is cold outside the clusters don't light up until 15+ mins later on or when the car is fully warmed up. Thanks. uche@wam.umd.edu

come one....20+ view and no one know of an issue...ie is it easy to change the oil in these car. I can do mine on my '94
