Arrow About to buy 95 Lexus - Good Deal ?

Hi All,

I have always wanted an LS for the longest time. I presently drive a 98 E320 which I am looking to sell and get into a lexus. I am not shy of high mileage and found a 95 LS 400 with 186,500 miles. It has been serviced at Lexus all its life and was owned by an older gentleman. The timing belt was done once at 100,000 I believe. So it is due for another timing belt soon. AC/electronics work fine. They are asking 2600 USD ? Good price? or should I bargain more ?
Any feedback will be appreciated.

That's a really good price if the car is in good shape.

Thumbs up Welcome to the forum

I would try to knock another $100 off for the due timing belt replacement. But yeah, that's a great price if everything works and the car runs well and has been maintained.

Make sure it's been taken in for the ECU TSB.. Can be a nasty one if not fixed.

Amazing you can get a quality car for that price. Do you have pics? That is like a mortgage payment Sounds like a good deal.
