Cars last as long as you take care of them They are not like people. Known problems are steering rack issue, amongst others. If you read this forum or search it, you will find everything that has been covered.

Good luck, and welcome.

To the OP,checking for problems after buying something is not advisable.Normally you do it prior.
I just got a 94 LS myself and before that I read through countless of post and threads.Most of the problems that popped up were the Tachs,Compressor(aircondition),Power steering pump leaking,starter.....etc.
Go through some of these threads and you will find out more.

Looks good. Something wrong with your passenger seat?

the LS460 wheels won't work on your car at all.

Thanks for the pics. How does the ride and quietness of the 740 compare to the LS? My friend has a 5 series so I'm trying to see how the Lexii are haha.

The 740 looks nice but it looks like it's leaking something. Very nice cars indeed.
