So here’s an update, car is pretty much done damage wise towards the roof, just need a hood still no luck. This car has such a bad vibe with me now, I plan to purchase a 2004 GS300 tomorrow.

Yea the Whole reason I bought the LS400 was for something cheap and reliable. if you are constantly fixing it it I can see it being a pain. good luck with the new Lexus.

I only called the tow-truck once for each, and both was for a failed ball-joint. You'll never kill the engine in these. But lately I've been seeing alot more posts from the same people changing and fixing so many things on their cars. There's a time that comes where ya just need to "throw in the towel" 
I think I heard someone say that before. "kambam" Hope ya have better luck with the GS.

Exactly. If you are always fixing something how can you call that reliable? Everyone always says how reliable the LS400 is. I agree......to a point. Most of them are. That's why I bought both of mine. And I'll be looking for a better one in the near future. I only called the tow-truck once for each, and both was for a failed ball-joint.

The stigma behind this LS is painful, I do agree with what you mean, everyone says this car invincible, and the motor and tranny are but there are lots of faults as there are with every car. I test drove the GS, needs a valve cover but other than that it was a great ride, 170K 1800$

I just reread my last post and I hope noone took it the wrong way. Believe me, I still love the LS400. I fixed way less on both of mine then some of my other cars way back in my youth.
I was just stressed about what I need to do to mine now just so it will last me one more crazy New England winter. Alot of things I've been putting off for a year cuz I thought other things would have come together by now.Make sure you do alot of research on the GS so you know if it's faults have been taken care of yet.
