i think if u do it like this it wont be as expensive

[JITB]

i think if u do it like this it wont be as expensive

looks like it has an exhaust, and a front lip kit, and those wheels dont look cheap either.... if u do it right, its gonna cost alot.

[IndianStig]

planning on only doing a drop and rims for now, maybe something from pauls custom exhausts too. seen a few good things from there. i want something that looks like that last pic. i kinda got jipped on this deal, i sold my lude. looked at a few lexus's and right now im rolling in a POS camry or a POS corolla (yes...i'm brown, lolol). once i get the Lexus my rents said i can't commute to state in it because of gas, i agree 100% so my dad will daily it, thus, he'll pay for all maintainance giving me plenty of $$ to waste on customizing it. if not, im looking at a real slow build. 1-2 yr project. not in any hurry to buy really, i got 2 months or so so lemme know if ya'll see some nice deals

[Sammich]

unless those are coilovers..i see maybe $2-3000 at the most spent on this car

[Brown Man]

aw man i love those cars

my friend got a 90 ls4oo, and me and him have been tryin to price parts and stuff... and the parts from that year arent as expensive. but we came up to the conclusion that....we aint got the money...lol he is selling it for 1200$, but it needs some work.. but it runs great.

[IndianStig]

unless those are coilovers..i see maybe $2-3000 at the most spent on this car

word, i'm setting my budget at 60% of what i buy the car for. i'm looking at any 92+ for under 10k. so i'm looking at no more then 6k over two years

prolly gonna cap it at 3k if i only work summers though.

and yeah, these cars are sick, i can't even tell when the car shifts on test drives, one was 200k plus mileage wise! bulletproof FTW. gonna keep it for years if i get it

PM me pics and info!

[Dirty Octopus™]

you want pics of first gens or second gens? :thinking:

either or just you wait till i gets homes!!! :super:

ive been doing quite a bit of searching in the past couple months to get ideas for mine as well :D


so far i got mapped out

coilovers - x<$2000
good fitment wheels - x < $2000
tint - x < $200

a chrome aftermarket grill and im DONE! :yes:

oh yeah a pimp ass paint job :goodjob:

either gen! i like the newer ones a lil better but the older ones will give me more money to play with! ahaha. plus, i hear the older ones are a little more reliable? my logic is: all the older ones i looked at had all maintainace done the newer ones needed it still.....you see what i mean? and lexus repairs=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :doh:

yah dam right repairs = $$$

i almost had to fork out 600 w/o labor on an A/C compressor alone for my first gen! :eek: (faaaaaaar from Honda prices)

but them bad boys are pretty stout. i heard once you change the oil you should be good for 1 million miles :crazy:

the only difference ive found between the first and second gens is the headlights and inside the cabin luxuries.

the 1UZ-FE setup in the 1st gen is identical to the 2nd gen

goddamn! yeah, i drove one yesterday and the A.C was blown so i told them to blow me....for the price they wanted. lol. but yeah, i wanna hit 500k miles on this car. can't argue with 25mph (possible) from a v8 either!

but it is a HUGE eye opener coming from a Honda...
i remember my first time "filling" up i got scared cuz i saw $58 and it wasnt even full! :eek:
i stopped immediately.

but yeah it takes me to and from work just fine. :goodjob:

[carbongs]

are you lookin at a ls400? 430? 1st gen, 2nd, 2.5? there are a wide variety of body styles which i am sure that you know of. narrow it down and i'll see if i can get some pics for you

[IndianStig]

LS400 only. all gens. just had a fall out with that lexus, he is a licensed dealer so sales tax FTL. going to an auction soon if i don't pick up the other one. its perfect though.

how much would you guys pay for a 96 white w/140k miles. needs brakes and a shift knob. 8/10 body. 9/10 interior

[BlkCD5]

Just remember what I told you not to do last night when you get the lexus.

5-5.5k tops if everything else is top notch and all records are in place. Or maybe 4k max.

[IndianStig]

5-5.5k tops if everything else is top notch and all records are in place. Or maybe 4k max.

really? i was ready to shell out 7k

[gforce23]

I have seen a couple of 400s with lower mileage and in better condition go for 6-7k. That's the reason why I took a grand off the price and settled with 5k. If you are getting it from an auction house, 7k sounds a bit too much.

[gforce23]

Dude, there's a silver '96 with ~150k miles for 7K obo on fleabay.

[IndianStig]

no this 7k was a broker. its the car i just looked at. vuong looked at it too, he said its a go but said offer 6600 or so

[gforce23]

Here's another one in your preferred color (white) ;)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-LEXUS-LS-400-IMMACULATE-CONDITION_W0QQitemZ190213264001QQcmdZViewItem

I'm pretty sure they'll let go for under $7k or thereabouts if you talk with them. Btw, that NADA value at the end of the page is just BS .. heck, if NADA values were all that useful, I'd sell all my cars tonight.

Btw, let me know if you need any VIN reports .. I have a subscription valid until the end of this month..

[Kamikaze]

I know you said 400 only, but this one is just too nice not to post.

saw that one already. seemed a lil fishy, might havea high reserve. but run the vin (JT8BH22F3T0039571) if you don't mind just to see if its clean.


ps. that ls430 is nice, i'd prolly get diff wheels though

[Dirty Octopus™]

but yea...my ultimate beater is gonna be a 97+ LS400

[IndianStig]

i think the 95-96 look meaner

[IndianStig]

bump for more pics of 90-96 LS's

[DrAE86Toreno]

u can check out the VIP thread the last page..theres a few LS's in there thats pretty nice..as far as the black 98-00 LS400 with the chrome faced wheel the last pix from first post i think..chrome faced no lip multi spoke ish..those wheels are from VIP MODULAR. they make some pretty ballin wheels for the non JP price..whats nice about most if not all LS is that they have huge wheel wells so we can fit some better offset wheels on there..theres people that say you can go with # X 11's in the back with some fender mods/pulling/grabbing/licking...and it would have some awsome fitment...stock body n stuff...on top of the fact that they are so big boy ballin...they look gangsta as hell...i wish i went with an LS or a Q45 :( instead of GS..trying to get an LS430 right now lol

[DrAE86Toreno]

oh btw if anyone was interested..that falken LS400(first 2 pix) on first post is currently for sale at i think 18k if anyone was interested lol
