The recession hit family members pretty hard and I decided to help out my siblings who needed a car but couldn't afford one.
I sold my LS which I have meticulously maintained over the last 2 1/2 years.I had anticipated keeping this car for at least another 5 years, but circumstances have dictated otherwise.
The new owner got a fair deal in my opinion as it came with 4 brand new Micheline Primacy MX4(purchased this spring)on original wheels, and 4 serious winter tires on rims, used only for 2 seasons(Nokian Hakkapellita).
The only thing it will require within the next 2 years is a timing belt/water pump job.No rust, dents, or dings.Everything works perfectly(radio, a/c, suspension, steering etc..)
Sold it for $6500.00 Can with a measly 185 000 kms(about 130 k miles).
This enabled me to get my sister a 1992 Honda Accord and my brother a 96 Infinity I30t.Both pretty good cars that are fun to drive.I now drive my 91 Mazda 323 full time.
Thanks to this forum, I became acquainted with the LS and developed a fairly good knowledge on how to buy used cars.
Thanks to all of you who took the time to share information and anecdotes.

You can take a ride in mine anytime you want I love my 95 very much and you have definitely reinforced this. I would be grief-stricken if I knew I had to sell it. I definitely feel your pain mate.

Hang in there,

I have been mulling over selling my new-to-me '92 LS400 to my brother. He fell in love with it when I asked him to drive it from selling dealer in Elmwood NJ to Atlanta GA.

But I am having fun with it on my snow-tour of the Northeast . . .

Its good to see people helping family in tough spots, hope you pick up an even better LS in the coming year(s)

hard to believe the ls400 is twenty years old. i'm sure youll find an ls430 to take her place soon.

Thanks Renato!That's a really nice gesture, though taking a ride in your LS would be a sadistic endeavor.There aren't that many LS 400's in the Montreal area, but when I do see one my shoulders sag.
Happy and safe motoring in what is turning out to be a very yucky winter.
