1995 ls 400 purchased in Montreal, Canada. 154k for 5000.00$. A few scuffs and scartches no dents, leather is worn and cracked.Winter tires included. Have since put on 3000.00$(new spark plugs rotors and wire set, front brake pads, all filters changed, all fluids changed, remanufactured ecm from auto zone and recently purchased new all season tires)So one can say I bought it for close to 8000.00$ after all was said and done. Runs super well! Plan to keep it for at least 5 years.

January 2006, paid $9,000 private sale. Car Manufactured February 1996 Dark Gray with gray leather seats.
Has a few scratches here and there but very quiet.

Super acceleration at highway speeds. I have always owned much smaller cars and the sheer joy of pressing that accelerator is priceless.

Most of my time on the highway is spent in the curb lane listening to the stereo. But sometimes other cars crowd me and I need to break out. This car just flies out to the place I want to be and leaves those Klingons like specks of dirt in the rear view mirror. All smooth and quiet and dignified. Me with big grin until I realise that one burst of happiness just cost me a dollar in gas!

June 2007 (I think):

1997 LS400
96,000 miles
Pearl white/pewter
Mint condition interior
Two minor imperfections (one on front bumper, the other on driver's side rear quarter panel)
New tires
New battery

Guy came to the Wal-Mart where I work to print off pics of the car to put in the paper. I jokingly told him I'd spread the word. Turns out my grandparents were really good friends with him. Bought the car two days later.

$12,300 (though he told me he'd go down to $10,500...crazy old man)
