so you think the repair costs of a 99 deville or 2003 impala would about even out with the 93 ls? I'm also somewhat intrested in which is going to live longer. I don't want to buy another car for a while.

Yeah i knew the lexus would definately cost more to fix; i can deal with that.. but not if its breaking all the time. I realize cars are cars and every car needs maintenance and repair from time to time. I'd really like to choose the Lexus over the American cars, i like it better both style wise and i've heard its much better quality. A used 95 GS300 would also be an option.

Hi; im new to these boards and i'd like to start by saying thanks to take the time and read my post. I've spent some time lurking reading posts and i'v been intrested in a Lexus ls400 in a while. The Lexus i was looking at was a 93ish ls400. I have some questions though and some stiff competition. the problem with the Lexus is that its such an old car and it has high km's; the ones in my price range (5-8 thousand) have fairly high mileage. 200k km's on average which is about 120k miles. my other options are a 1998-00 Cadillac De'ville at about 60k miles; or a Chevrolet Impala 2001-2004 with about 20-40k miles. Basically I like the Lexus the most, but im afraid it may not be the best option, i want this car to last and not have to buy another one for a while; and i don't want to spend much on repairs. The 2 American cars are newer and probably cheaper to fix. I really love the ls400; i jsut need a car thats practical and most of all is gonna run and serve me well for a while; im afraid that with a 15 year old car i may not get this; even if it does have the quality of a Lexus
