91 Maxima or 1994 LS400 or GS300
Hi,
I have a high mileage 91 Maxima with about 270K miles. I'm thinking
of buying another used car, and considering a Lexus that costs less
than $15,000.00. I have considered newer maxima models too, and could
fine some 2000s around that price.
The main reason I'm moving from my current maxima is the mounting cost
of repairs on a 12 year old car - i had so far sunk about $2000 into
this car this year alone, replacing a number of broken parts.
If I buy a 1994 Lexus, what kinds of expensive repairs should I
anticipate?
Would it be better to get a newer maxima or a GS300 or even a 1994 LS400?
Thanks in advance for your assistance ..

The answer depends on your priorities.
If you are looking for a reliable mode of transportation, that you are better off with a newer Maxima.
If you'r into luxury, then you should get LS400. For about 15K, you can easily get a 97 LS400 with about a 100K miles. 100K is nothing for LS if it wasn't abused. You will porbubly heve to spend an extra 5-600 on any maintenance/repair and after that, you will have a car that will give you years of trouble-free service and luxury. Any way, that's what I did about a year ago.

With what you're looking to spend, I think a 95 or newer LS would be perfect if you want all-out luxury and good performance.. If you're looking for something more sporty - like your Maxima, then go for a GS... The GS is like a Maxima on Luxury Steroids.

Hey I have a better suggestion, buy a used Kia Sephia you will save tons of money. I am pretty sure you can make it to work driving it.
