Hello everyone, I've been a member here for a few years, but never had a worthy platform to truly be active. With a family now it has become obvious that I needed a 4 door car with a bit more room then the 2 door options I normally drive. I was searching for a couple weeks when this Black/grey on tan 1997 LS400 popped up on a local craigslist. After a thorough looking over, I promptly brought it home.This car only has 139k and was owned by the original owner for 110k of it. I found stacks of receipts in the glovebox for all scheduled dealer services including the 95k which is the timing belt. Multiple fluid changes, belts, etc. Even paid the Lexus dealer to steam clean the carpets at one point. At around 115k the original owner traded it in, and the records are a bit vague since, but that's only been a few miles. It has definitely been well taken care of most of it's life.
The interior is literally spotless! Not even noticeable wear on the driver's seat bolster like in most of these cars. All of the cluster and climate lights work great.
This will be a daily driver so the mods will happen slowly and likely very mild. There are a few small mechanical things to sort out, but I already love driving this thing! I have not come up with a good plan for mods yet, I imagine that fitment will be more in the mild side and most of the mods will happen on the inside. Hard to say yet. Just figured I'd start a thread for the car and document what I'm up to.
