94 LS400 for $1100 w/ slipping transmission
Someone is selling a 1994 LS400 in "Good" to "Very Good" condition (inside and out) for $1100. They claim the transmission is slipping sometimes so they believe they need to replace it. He told me they never changed the transmission oil.
I'm thinking it's the wrong fluid, a clogged screen, or ecu caps.
I was considering driving the 250 miles, along with a jack, jack stands, some type t-iv transmission fluid, a soldering iron and handful of ECU caps.
Do you think it'd be too risky to go ahead and buy it and try to fix it down there (in a day) so i can drive it back 250 miles? It has less than 180,000 miles -- i doubt that transmission is bad.

I told him I was 250 miles away and for him to tell me everything that is wrong with it before I come all that way and he did tell me about the fender and hood. He said everything else was really good.
We'll see how it looks in the pics.
Btw, I like the silver I already have a white 98 ls400 and $1100 is so cheap! My brother can do the tranny swap if i get him a used trans (he just doesn't know this yet, lol).
