So I after searching for a while I finally found a ls400 i wanted! The exterior color is not my first choice but it's in mint condition. it's a 97 coach ls400 with factory air suspension. It's had all it's maintenance up to the date and had the suspension replaced by lexus less than 7k miles ago. Overall I'm happy with my new purchase and the price I got it for couldn't be any happier!!



I plan on getting the windows tinted with a dark bronze like tint this week and get a 6k hid kit, clear bumper lights and LED tailights. I few questions does anyone know what HID kit would work? It looks like the passenger corner headlight bulbs are out. What bulbs will work to match the HIDs??

Sweet ride, gotta love the "Coach". How much did you end up paying for it and how many miles? The color isn't too bad, I was actually looking at one that color, but it was a 96 so I said "NO".
How short are you? That seat looks all the up and forward. Eh, but seriously, don't tint the windows too dark, it won't look good if they are dark black. But if you can find, like you said, the bronze color it would look even more sweet. Keep it clean and congrats on the purchase.

I payed $6000 for it i think it was worth for the condition the car is in and the type of maintanence record it's had everything since new has been maintaned through lexus on time and it had a flawless carfax ...and i'm 5'7 so i guess yeah im rather short lol ...as far is the tint i want this exact look https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...vip-ls400.html

Congrats! Clean...your interior is nice and you got the factory mats.

For stock, a 921 bulb will fit and ups the wattage over the 194.

I think you got a good deal for $6000. How many miles? That's black tint on the car in the link, it looks bronze/copper b/c the car color is shining and the reflection of the clouds. That car does look good though, and his plate is .

Not according to the owner.

Thanks for catching me on that. Ya know, I glanced right over that and didn't see it. Eh, it looks black to me. Oh well, I was just set on the license plate.

it has 140k miles and that tint has a goldish hue to it you can kinda tell that it's bronze that's exactly what i want!!

i say thats a good find for 6k, i just paid 4k for my 97 with 155k miles and some interior flaws and im loving it. i would of snagged that one up in a heart beat.

deanshark

You didn't get a good deal, you got a great deal with that low mileage. I just don't see the bronze in that tint, but maybe my eyes are getting worse as I age, and it is just a pic. It should look much better in person. I've seen a light gold tint on a tan car before and it looked good so it should match good with your car color. What is it, champagne?

the guy had the car listed for 7k I showed up with 6k cash and offered it to him he took it belonged to a family that had passed away ...the color is called cashmere beige metallic im seriously thinking about repainting it down the road if end up keeping. This car is so different from what im used too Ive been trying to order leds for the interior now and im so confused I had a hard enough time ordering a hid kit lol
