Im back but my car is dead
I havn't posted here in a long time:
Alright so my 1994 LS out here in Arizona, drove it from houston, was totaled a week ago. I was going 50mph and a lady fails to yield making an unprotected left turn infront of me at an intersection. I hit her she tails spin and I hit the curb then street light pole<thats what totaled the engine>. She was cited by the police and I was pretty lucky that I was driving such a safe car I walked away pretty much unharmed expcept for some cuts on my arm and some body pain. Insurance paid $8gs for it<est repair cost were over $12gs> it had about 110,000 miles on it and the only problem it ever had was the left driver side window motor stoped working. I have looked at a 1999 benz slk and some other cars but after that I'm now pretty sure im going to stick with a lexus. Since insurance didn't pay anything extra for the sound system I went to the lot and got the jl subs and to mtx amps. I will probably go back and tear out all the speakers since they were expensive and could be used hopefully in the new LS. I'm going to take pictures of it when I go back.
Here are some old pictures of it from like 2 yrs ago with out clear turn signals
The LS 400's locally near me that im checking out this week are as follows<all private sellers>:
1998 Gold 110,000 1 owner: 13,000
1998 Green 88,000 2nd owner: 12,900
1998 Silver 128,000 freeway miles 2nd owner :11,000
Also if anyone knows of a good lexus for sale in either the Phoenix,AZ area or Houston,TX let me know!

Here are the pictures today I took with my cell phone.
I just got back from checking out the green one, it's in perfect condition at a fair price. He bought the clear bumpers from luxurymods. The paint in monotone which is also a nice touch along with the limo tint all the way around. I'm very happy!
Can anyone tell me if the speakers from the 94 ls will fit in the 98? If so Im going to go back to the lot and take all the infinity speakers out.

Ya it looks like you got a nasty side hit? Did you get hurt? I had center impact right in the engine, good thing it was so large it saved my life. I havn't posted here in along time, looks like I should add RIP in my signature like you.It looks like you upgraded to a 1999 after that
