Problem finding a Platinum Series
I have been searching for a certain car for over a month with no luck. I want a 2000 Platinum Series in Black with tan leather, decent miles , WITH NAVIGATION OR NAKAMICHI, for less than 30 grand. I found ONE with Nav, with 45K miles for $33K. Yet to find one with the Nak system. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY ONE WOULD SPEND OVER 50 GRAND ON A CAR, ANOTHER 4 GRAND FOR COLORED BOTTOM PANELS, AND THEN SETTLE FOR THE MEDIOCRE BASE-MODEL STEREO OR NO NAV????????? Search Lexus, autotrader, cars.com, and autobytel daily.
I've got a 93 with the Premium sound that I bought used a couple years ago, and I'd at least like to have a new feature or two if I step up to a 2000, but I didn't realize there were so many ls400s out there that don't have a common sense upgrade.
Anyone willing to part with theirs let me know!

Hey
When I was shopping for my 98 I found out the Nav was a VERY rare item. I think I only saw thim on the internet and nevere even saw one in person. I looked at at least 2 dozen 98 or 99 LS400's before I bought mine. Now on top of that you want a specific Package, Color, and Price, wow good luck. Seriously if you just keep looking you may find it.
Good luck and you will just Love the car. I bought mine with 24k miles. Now it has 46k and still love it. Its a dream ride every day to work.

LS400
You can not get NAV and NAK in the same car as Lexus did not offer this option. You can only get NAK or a NAV car. I would love to have both the NAV and NAK in my 00 LS400 but the powers to be at lexus only offered one or the other option. Best of luck on finding your car. I will check my local dealer and see what they have in inventory.

yeah I know you can't get both, but one or the other is an improvement over just the Premium Sound alone. What do you guys think is a good price ceiling for a clean 2000 with 40-50K miles?
