I am new here and just bought a cherry 96 ls400 from my neighbor for 3200.00, it has 175000 miles but it drives like a new car, the only thing is it seems very slow in acceleration. I floor it and it revs up smoothly and nicely but it does not accelerate quickly, I have heared the ls 400 has some power but this one does not. From what I am told it has the original wires,plugs etc.... I will be tuning it up tomorrow I am not sure if it has had a timing belt. What I can say is it is one of the smoothest riding quietest cars I have ever driven in my life, everything works on the car except for the power antenna and the light on the radio. No oil leaks whatsoever and when its running you cant even hear it. I have never owned a lexus, I bought it for my girl to replace her 300e mercedes. As soon as I drove this car I was blown away except for the power, my 8000lb chevy plumbing van with a 350 seems like its faster 0-60, what could be the problem? plugged cat? Did I do good? there is not one ding or scratch in the car and the interior is perfect, it is white and has the chrome 16" wheels and gold package. I think it was a steal.
