forum members in the seattle area [LS400 owners]
Hi Folks,
I am 55, retired recently and live in Charlotte, NC. I don't have definite plans yet but I would like to fly out to Seattle this spring/summer and purchase an early 90's LS 400. My budget for the car itself is about 2K and then would make improvements as necessary to road trip it back to Charlotte. I am "wrench worthy" so to speak, having done a lot of work, part myself, part with the help of independent mechanics in the last three years, bringing back my Dad's 93 Lincoln Mark VIII and my 91 BMW 850i (my one and only V12!). Wanting to add to my collection (wife be damned ;-))!
If any one would be willing to share their expertise with the LS 400 with me I would appreciate that help!
Thanks and happy wrenching/motoring!

I am sure this is a great forum and I can learn a lot here. I have learned a lot about my 91 BMW and 93 Linc Mark VIII on similar forums.
Thanks for reading and replying!

not ls400 exclusive but a common issue with older lexus vehicles are the electronics so check the ccm check the cluster etc. since you have experience with cars i shouldn't have to tell you to listen for any noises etc.

Sounds like an epic road trip. I drove my 350z from FL to WA a couple of years ago when moving here. One of the best decisions of my life. Good luck!
PS - Don't forget to post pics of your LS during the trip!
