Hello everybody!
I wanted to introduce myself and new to me 2000 Ls400. Just got it on Monday, rare car in MN, since it came from Arizona, very clean and not a spec of rust on it.
No accidents reported, but I can see that front bumper and front passenger door is repainted.
Speedometer is lazy, needs a slap on the dash to get it working and radio screen is not working well.
First thing I did to the car - replaced rear transmission mount and diff fluid, next thing I want to replace engine mounts and fix clicking noise when using brakes.

It's actually plastic "stickers", they are EVERYWHERE, really hate it and it's hard to remove, all glue stays, I'll figure it out somehow.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

My air filter looked worse and I take exceptional care of my car. Just been busy but I changed it out today.

Well the car did come from AZ.....its pretty dusty over here. the AF would probably get dirty in 3 months or less with all the haboobs we have during monsoon season.
