    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

    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.

    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

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

    yah dam right repairs = $$$

    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

    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!

    yeah you cant argue.
    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

    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.

    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.

    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..

    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
