Lonyal,
First of all, let me congratulate you on buying one of the finest cars ever made. I have a 91 LS400 with over 200,000 miles and it still runs smooth as silk.
Things to watch for based on my vehicle and other postings here.
Power steering pump - they will begin to leak on the bottom side, if not fixed it will take out the alternator. It need not be replaced, it can be rebuilt which costs about $30 for the kit.
AC/Clock unit - the display will go black which is most easily fixed by having it sent to a company called mikado. Here is a post regarding this and some other things you might want to check out https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ghlight=mikado
Normal maintenance for older vehicles including flush/fill coolant, transmission fluid, spark plugs, timing belt, brakes, shocks, etc. I recommend taking it to a shop where they will put it up on a rack and walk underneath with you and look for dry joints, worn bushings, evidence of leaking fluids, brake thickness, etc.
Enjoy your car!

Thats all? I mean it isn't suppoes to be more of them???
One more thing: I didn't find any Lexus-club available in Europe. Its hard to say , but its seems to be lack of fans in the old continent. Do someone know ANY club in this side of world?
