Just picked up this beast yesterday . One owner 52k miles, runs and looks like new.

What performance mods do you recommend?

Heres some pics:

 

Congrats!
Are you sure it is a Coach Edition?

 

clean looking car but its not a "coach" edition.

Lexus only made "Coach" edition LS400s in '97.

 

thats how u get scammed by a dealer, *edited title

 

 

hi rmoriar, i was looking at the same vehicle and walked out a rather large whop whom said it was "choufer driven by the Russian embassy", u got scammed. i am sorry and wouldn't even attempt to get a refund, just try to re-sell it

 

Better check that coolant reservoir, looks pretty low. Along those lines, you may consider you'll be up for the 60K maintenance but at this age, doing the 90K and that includes timing belt and related might be wise. (Water pump, idlers, cam seals, serpentine belt, thermostat...)

10 year old car with this low miles...might be lots of short stop-go or lots of garage sitting. The front drivers seat looks to be split...seems odd. Can't quite tell by the photo.

Make sure the basics are covered before making mods. Performance mods...PD will say search but basically, there aren't many but exhaust and any custom stuff you want to undertake.

 

Yup, do timing belt etc.. a.s.a.p.
Looks like a very nice car. Very nice colour.
Not much in the way of 'performance' mods.

 

That looks very nice. I would also get the timing belt and water pump done soon as possible. I would also get any other maintenance items out of the way before doing any mods.

 

the dealer might not of been 100% honest but i doubt i got "scammed." You try finding one as clean and with as low miles for 13k

 

I bet the car is almost 100% original.

For $13,000 that could be one fantastic car.

and do us all a favor and put some miles on that car !!!!!!!!

 

Just for reference, I bought my 2000 last year for $11k with 60k miles.

 

nice car. love the color combination.
someone will always have a better deal.
drive, man.

cat

 

Really nice find, car looks really clean.

 

damn nice find... whatever scam re coach edition but if all is clean no accidents and frame damage and good motor / tranny u r good man... i would have jumped on it too if it was clean and had it checked with my mechanic...


any plans for it..??
