Smile looking at buying '98 LS 400-wht shd I lk 4

Anything I should be aware off when inspecting a '98 LS 400? What are the
common things I should look at before making an offer?

Hood struts, if it has nav is it the latest version. If it has air suspension would get it checked out just to be sure it's in good shape - can be very costly to repair.

If mileage is nearing 90K or over check to see if major 90K service with timing belt replacement has been completed.

Other than that just normal major wear and tear.

make sure it has HIDs and the wood/leather steering wheel/shift ****.

maint. history is very important as well.
