So any good guesses of how many LS400's are being junked and scrapped every day, in the US? My wild guess is 4 a day. The stupid pick n pull close to me keeps cars only a month, but the one that is 30 miles away keeps them way longer. They should really research what they are doing. They are for sure making nothing on the scrap value, and they should adjust the prices so they are not being huge _____ holes about the prices.
idiots. i looked on car-part . com for a diff for my 98. I called and they had scrapped the car the day before. a 98-00! ugh if only they knew what they were doing. they're just too lazy to take the parts off the car i guess?
I will be junking my 1st gen when it dies, which does not seem to be coming any time soon. I am hoping for five more years in perfect scenario.
But a low mileage 2nd gen has plenty of life in it left! I wish I had one (one just got away, it was a 2000, 50k miles, pristine condition, one owner - lady... missed it by a couple of hours... arghhh)
The 10's are becoming less and less because now they have fallen into beater status at their lower value pricing. The ones owned by the older crowd take care of them so the maintenance is current and they tend to be in better shape. I see 460's that are in poor shape, one wonders how some owners can trash them so quickly. Saw a '12 460 that the seats had cracked with 22K miles on it. The steering wheel looked as if the owner wore sandpaper rings too.
UPDATE: I still have my 99LS, I bought in june 2010, "Walter" had just bought it and didnt like it so i bought it off him..
it still runs just like it did then and yesterday we put new Goodyear Reliant All-Season 235/55R17 99H Tire on it (430 17" wheels on it) and it is so quiet it is unreal.. like new..
I see some though they are approaching beater status. Peeling paint, door dinged panels, torn stained interiors... The nicer ones are being driven by silver haired types.
