Thanks to CL for all the great information, this community is truly an excellent resource! BIG MAHALO!!!

I went from a 2000 GS300 platinum series in Hawaii, which I sold for $21k



Moved to Cali and bought a 1999 GS300 w/60k miles at a local Jaguar dealer in July for $16k, and in September picked up a 1995 LS400 w/165k from a cop for $5k. Two great quality vehicles at $21k for him and her!

lucky bastard on the LS, every time I hear of someone getting a nice UCF20 for 5k I die a little inside

Works a little different in cali, big guy.

They are cheaper there because there are so many...thats the only logical explanation to me. Lexus vehicles except for the RX and ES are scarce

Congratulations. Both the GS and the LS are beauties

true but if a car is costing 2-3grand less in another region it still makes sense to me at least to just have it shipped, that way your still up a grand or two

ok, back on topic now

What a deal - nice rides. The LS for $5 is a steal - it looks really clean in the photo.....for that kind of money you just can't beat it.

Thanks fellas, right now I'm driving the LS and the wife drives the GS. The LS's are around but I wouldn't say very common in Cali. I got really lucky only because of all the information on this site that told me 95 is the best value right now because of the updated look, price.etc.. The only problem with the LS is the interior is dried and cracked in a couple of places, I will most likely get it reupholstered. Any suggestions on reupholstery?

Just got back from a quick run to SAC and let me say that both cars are totally different driving experiences.

GS = more road feel, more road/wind noise, much more fun to drive w/ I-6

LS = soft pillow ride, effortless acceleration, much less driver fatigue.
