still can't decide if my 94 ls400 is worth repairing
#17
its so tough to make the decision - especially since mine only has 155Kmiles.
i have enough saved up for an 8-9K used car....but it would be newer with just as many miles likely...
things needed to be done: power steering pump, steering rack, ac... (i'm in LA - heat of the valley) probably a drivers seat replacement...replacing the car amplifier etc
no rust, seats are good for the most part...exterior was good- only was in 1 accident, rear ended but no bumper damage
the car runs well for the most part. i know it has a few other things needed but those are the main things...
how would you decide about dropping about 4K into the car vs getting something new & letting her go ?

I had the [size=13px]power[/size] steering pump and steering rack on my 1990 ls400 done for under 2k, parts and labor! AC I have no idea and didn't have much luck since it takes r4(or whatever old freon). A seat, maybe a $50 cover would work for you and amp I'd think you could replace for around $100 parts and maybe $100 if you know any electrical people or can find someone on craigslist or whatnot(I think it is just about figuring out the wire diagram and making a few splices -- have had this done but forget the details)!
If you can find non-shop repairs and the AC can come under $500, then I'd say to FIX IT UP! That V8 engine and that classic look plus the feel of driving that car is so nice, it will likely be missed in another $8-9k car :/
