it sold already after 3 days on the market, I was gunna go take a look at it today. it seems everywhere I look/research everything says that these cars are amazingly reliable, maby you guys are right and i'll find a $500 subie (been looking for one actually I just think they look ridiculous ) or camry (or corolla for that matter) and stay out of debt- I love how what my parents didnt buy they cant take away, owning it is just so much better when you worked for it- I feel sorry for the kids who get everything handed to them then turn 18 and go out in the real world and end up in a shack- thanks for your help!

is that your lexus on craigslist? 489810758 ?

first I will tell you my story I am a highschooler that has had horrible luck with cars. first I bought a 1999 saab 9-5 with 160k miles for $2500 (I worked and saved up every cent of that myself) then the turbo went a couple months later and the engine soon followed. it is in my driveway collecting dust. after that, I drove around my brothers 1980 jeep cj-7, in the winter, and frankly would rather take the bus, but the ignition switch went out so I started driving my moms 1969 chevy c/10 truck, which actully runs pretty good but the three on the three is not working out too well for me (i got rear ended because it got stuck and wouldnt go into gear) i am currently driving that around but it is big, loud, stinky, and has just a bad of a heater as the jeep. I found a 1991 ls400 for $3,000 and 118,000 miles. it has a broken headlight, dent on the hood, and the a/c doesnt work. kbb is $5,000. I would fix the headlight and possibly in the summer I would fix the a/c. I dont have all the money right now and would need to take out a loan with my parents and pay them back in time for taxes (so id need to sell the saab) I read the buyers guides on here and they seem very outdated, so If any of you were in my shoes would you buy this? once I bought it I couldnt really afford any repairs but these are supposed to be pretty reliable right? so, thanks for your opinions and if all goes well I will be a member of this board and actually own a lexus! thanks again other cars in my area: a 91 ls400 with 216k miles, $2200 and a '93 ls400 with 180k miles, it needs a water pump and has been overheated several times.
