Default Get Rid of My LS400 for an IS300?

So my 1990 LS400 is near death and I am thinking about an IS300. Other than the timing belt change at 90K miles and 6 disc changer what would you look for? What do you guys think of this one?

Thanks for the help.

its okay bro i got rid of my 01 LS430 for my IS300!

yah pretty much thats what u need to look out for, serpentine should or should of been changed again at 120K miles...

other than than just get everything looked over, as far as suspension components, and worn bearings...

not a bad price but u can still work it down if u see anymore flaws

Dont forget to inspect tires for inner edge wear. And look close at the 'strut' arm bushings for cracks
very strong/durable engine and trans
car will last a long time if you keep up with the maint sched
i have best luck using the o.e. Serp belt
