I'm looking at getting an LS400 now that I sold my Prelude. I found a couple of nice pictures to get an idea of where I wanna go with the car. If you have any more pics. Post em up!

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.Originally Posted by PBS
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 dealsOriginally Posted by JITB

PM me pics and info!Originally Posted by JITB
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 yearsOriginally Posted by PBS
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
aw man i love those cars
weak civic
you want pics of first gens or second gens?
either or just you wait till i gets homes!!!
ive been doing quite a bit of searching in the past couple months to get ideas for mine as well
so far i got mapped out
coilovers - x<$2000
good fitment wheels - x < $2000
tint - x < $200
a chrome aftermarket grill and im DONE!
oh yeah a pimp ass paint job![]()
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=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Originally Posted by Dirty Octopus™

yah dam right repairs = $$$Originally Posted by IndianStig
i almost had to fork out 600 w/o labor on an A/C compressor alone for my first gen!(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
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

yeah you cant argue.Originally Posted by IndianStig
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!
i stopped immediately.
but yeah it takes me to and from work just fine.
i love my LS![]()
i'll dump it one day![]()
that's all you really need to do for them! i would get a WALD lip kit but it looks fresh enough slammed on some nice wheels![]()

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
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
5-5.5k tops if everything else is top notch and all records are in place. Or maybe 4k max.Originally Posted by IndianStig
really? i was ready to shell out 7kOriginally Posted by 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.
Dude, there's a silver '96 with ~150k miles for 7K obo on fleabay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...QQcmdZViewItem
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
Here's another one in your preferred color (white)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...QQcmdZViewItem
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..

ps. that ls430 is nice, i'd prolly get diff wheels though
Hmm .. seems clean IMO. Anyhow, check your PM.Originally Posted by IndianStig
I know you said 400 only, but this one is just too nice not to post.
