I'm impressed you are mature enough to understand and admit all of that. Completely forgot about beef and parties...
And by ratbagging I just mean driving it I to the ground, over curbs and into stuff.
A lot of us on here have done or are working on doing the same stuff you want to do, so no worries there.
Sounds like you are going to find the perfect first car for what you need!

I just found another ls400. all maintence records 150k its a 1997. brand new tune up. It has torn up front seats but i think i can live with that and go fnd new seats at a junkyard.Or maybe get some seat covers that dont look like seat covers. if anyone knows of any let me know. ive searched on the threads but havent found any decent priced with pics after there installed

Is this a good buy ill get it inspected by a mechanic. Im not a fan of the color but at least its a really dark green. He has all maintence records and has done a recent tune up hes also the second owner. The only thing that worries me is the coolant flush. Does that mean the car is overheating? I can def talk him down to 2k. Also i talked to him he said both front seats are torn up. If I do pick up the car tommorow i wanna take car of that. Anyone know where to get replacement seats. or some somewhat cheap seat covers that look good and not cheap nd nasty like his do in the pics?

EDIT: idk if this will be the car hes not givng me the vin # or telling me if its damage. Im gonna be in the area nd stop by to check it out if its still there. this was his response to my ?
I can have a grip of people showing up tommorow its going to sell if you want it hmu in the morning first come first served. so whatever. its not my first choice either maintenance is upto date with all records but the color and interior are in bad shape and on top there might be damage like you said.
what pisses me off is the only time i can really go see these cars is the weekend which means if theres a nice car during the week u bet itll be gone by the time i can go see it

I just checked out a 92 for 1500 with 135k on the clock. It had issues with cheaply done body work. But mechanically im loving the car. that was my first time i ever drove one or ever even been in one. This is definetly the model of car im going to get. it rides so nicely and smoothly for such a old car. The guy was literally 5 minutes away so i thought i might as well check it out.

I honestly like the styling of the 90-94 better. but im open for the 95-97. I was in the are i called him he forwarded i texted em he didnt respond so whatever. i believe it had body damage too.it looks like it in the pics. the interior was torn up from what he told me and the color was gross. i dont think i can have a green car unless its light green on a lambo. So whatever. like someone said theres new ones everyday so im waiting for the right one

95-97 is a better car overall than 90-94
but for me, interior and exterior condition and accident free history are above all else
mileage and year model are less important
