Jury's still out on whether it was worth the $1,250 I spent on it. It came with a new timing belt and fan bracket, but had horrendous front seal leaks, broken A/C compressor, trashed interior, driveline vibrations and horrendous tires on it. My goal is to make it a good car for under $3,000 total. Should I make a thread out of it?

About $6241 not bad probably missing some stuff. but for having it since 2002 with not a single problem. people know me as a fast driver :x. i say this lexus was built pretty tough. last thing i would need to do is my power steering pump, and probably motor mounts, tranny mounts, and diff mounts
my sister's 94 is black jade pearl. Almost black. I love the color. Its only slightly green in direct light.

too much.
timing belt & water pump - $1000
A/C - $1000
ball joint, wheel bearing, control arms, brakes - $2000
17inch rims & tire - $1000
engine + trans mounts - $500
too much to spend in 4 yrs. I have driven 75,000 miles in these 4yrs.
My plan is not to spend any more money on it. change oil and drive it till it dies. It could use new suspension and rear control arms. But I will ignore them and ride it out until I hit 300k miles OR 2012.

Mine is a 1990, purchased last December with 151,xxx now at 164,xxx
It was well maintained by the previous two owners, but I'm a big believer in preventive maintenance as I plan to keep this car until it dies.
