New Lexus (1990 LS400) owner
Just wanted to say hi, just purchased a 1990 LS 400 for $750.00, yes that is 750 dollars (258,000 miles) runs great, a few things to figure out, but just wanted to say thank you for the site and multiple links to help answer my questions.

Here are a couple of photos, have a faulty hood latch, gas gauge reads empty when cold, have only had it for 3 days, learning the ropes through your website. I see a lot of good information here. Some dents and dings, a little bit of rust. Drivers door handle broken (can still open it from the corner).
Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to CL. Not too bad for $750. Even with the problems it has it's well worth what ya paid. Do you plan on fixing it up and doing the body work or is it just a daily/winter beater? If you do fix the rust, do it right or it will just come right back, and worse. The first thing I would suggest is to fix the hood latch. That bungi cord aint gonna last and I wouldn't want to be behind you when the hood flies open, snaps and goes flying.

35.00 dollars later had a new/used tire and she was on her way. Crazy thing about the hood latch, I did spray some WD40 in it, now it will latch sometimes and then again not. Is this hooked into the electrical system at all?
