Either sell it as is or fix it and keep it. Makes absolutely no sense to fix it AND sell it, especially being a GS400 in this market/economy. Unless you are getting a nutso deal on an engine and you're doing the labor yourself... you'll be wasting time and money.

Thanks for the idea to PM Aliga.

The car has 126,xxx miles on it.

The diagnosis came from Hennessey Lexus of Atlanta. Where the car is still parked. I think I've found a buyer for it.
