Originally I went to the auction looking for a SUV that woud hold a family of 5 and would pull a 19ft boat. But I couldn't pass on the deal. My original thought was to just get the lex and find someone willing to trade me a tahoe or suburban. Maybe sell it for a little more than I paid, and find a SUV then. But this thing is so sweeeeet. I'll probably end up finding a cheap basic truck for boat duty and keep the lex. From everything I am reading, I got a good deal on a fine automobile. Everyone that has rode in it has nothing but compliments. Very cool

I have been ppounding the boards for a week now. I am loving everything that I am reading so far about this LS400. This vehicle line has won some amazing awards. And after driving it, it has ruined all other vehicles for me. Most of my driving to and from work is highway driving. But there are a few spots - bad intersections, merge lanes, etc.. that require some acceleration to merge. Hit the O/D off button, and BAM - you are there. And it does it effortlessly. The V-8 is strong and the transmission feels geared perfectly. Perfectly... I've got a ton of tools. I have always worked on my own vehicles when I can. I'll get it up in the air this weekend and get a real good look at the vehicle from underneath. So far everything I have seen looks accessable. I have been over every inch of the cabin, trunk, and enngine from the top. Its a much bigger car than I realized. I'll see if I can hit 300K on the odometer. Thanks

Thanks for the response fellas. Today was my first daily commute to work. And again i must say - smooth as butter. My initial instincts are too keep it. And your input, that makes the decision much easier. I already had 2 offers today. One for 5K and another for 6K. Some of my co-workers want to help me out by taking it off my hands. Yeah right. Again, thanks

Greetings everyone. New member here. And a first time Lexus owner. Last month I lost my 4runner - totalled. So I went to the auto auction to find a replacement vehicle. There was a beautiful 1994 LS400 up for bid. Not what I was looking for, but too nice to pass by. My final bid was $3400. Its got 110K on the odometer and the glove box is full of scheduled maintenance receipts. I have been enjoying the fine ride for 6 days now. WOW. I am sure you guys already now this, but what a package. Smooth as butter in interior comfort as well as smooth ride. I am very impressed. Click a few buttons and this car moves. I love the ECT switch and OD button. Very nice. Is there a catch? Before 6 days ago, i knew nothing about Lexus. From reading through the forums, I got the info on the clock-temp gauge as well as the main instrument cluster. Is there anything else. I am a Do It Yourself person if I have the tools. Is this the kind of vehicle that I will be able to work on? Or does it need to go to the shop alot. I'm not sure what I have got to be honest. If I can work on it, I will keep it. But if it requires tons of special tools, etc... It will go. Its gonna be my daily driver. So let me know what you veterans Lexus owners think. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Merry Christmas everyone. EazyG
