You can upload them to the gallery or some host such as photobucket and link them from there vs attaching. The issue with IOS uploading is that your ipad names every image with the same "image.jpeg" filename so they can't be distinguished to upload multiples.

Thanks Dave.

Photobucket, for me at least, has been real clunky on iPad, but I will re-visit it.

Cool car! Looks familiar. I just got this 99 LS400 with 156k miles on it. For reference I paid just under 4k for it.

Like I said you can find something just like wolfy53 did, its not a messed up kids car and way cheaper price and probably 10,000 times better condition. That 8 or 6K car is trash it is an under 2K car with all the things it needs. Just go price the exhaust system at Lexus, I bet its around 4K itself. Then having the paint and bodywork done. Does the interior look like Wolfys?

My advise keep looking. A one way plane ticket is cheap now a days. Dicer is right Be patient and hold out for the original clean car! Trust me. I am so happy with mine

I think he sold it because I haven't seen it on CL for awhile.

I drove a couple of really nice '05 LS430's since then.

It was nice to be able contrast my old skool '94 against those cars.

you know what I think??? I think people who live in New York see things different than the rest of us commoners do... I dont get into issues with them, because I dont understand why they would have to ask...?
but anyway I'm with you, buy in the south...

yep. major red flags on that one. doesn't matter how nice it was kept for the first 15 years. you can kill a car in a year hooning it around. not an LS400 but it can definatly ruin the ride. seeing anything saying stance nation on the car would make me run like hell, cause it means whoever owned it was more interested in thrashing it then keeping it maintained. id take a clean 98-00 400 over an early LS430. 400 is way sleeker looking, plus no sealed transmission, oh and its faster too.

Stereotyping is never good is my point.

WNY in wnyjazz stands for Western New York. If we could 'succeed' from the New York City bunch we would. They are 8 hours away by car and a huge drain on all of us.

My next door neighbor has a small herd of cows...and manure.
