I bought a bracket for an LS430 to install the Sirius Stiletto. The fit is so tight on the 400 that all I had to do is slip the bracket between the trim. I run the power from the console box and the antenna I have inside the car on the front of the dash. It works perfectly.

I bought an emblem off of ebay to put on the steering wheel. I think it looks pretty good.

Issues discovered since I bought it:

Slight clunk noise in front when going over speed bumps. I have researched those here and will be fixing soon. Bushings.

The tint needs to be replaced. That's coming soon as well.

Nothing major, which for 177k is fantastic!

Overall, I love this car! The ride is incredible. The quality of these cars never ceases to amaze me. I feel like it will last forever as long as I take care of it.

smoking deal especially if they are highway miles as the previous owner claims. I am jealous because you got the one with the fast engine. Good way to test the shape of the engine is your 0 to 60 time and your gas mileage.

Also change your tranny fluid if it has not been done lately

That IS a smoking deal!!!, really. Kinds makes me think that my 1999 LS is a lot cheaper than I think, but it`s OK, I am keeping it, anyway
Congrats on the purchase. How does it compare to your newer ES?
As for the CD changer, it is not difficult totake it out and replace with a working one(Ebay).

It was done in November.

The ES has a much firmer ride, and probably gets better mileage, plus I wasn't using premium in the ES. But I like this car better. If only I could have found this one with black interior.

The previous owner had a trunk cd changer that crapped out. Like I said before, I have the Sirius, and can connect my ipod as well. No real need for the changer.

How much was the steering wheel emblem? Looks good.

It was $18 with the 3m backing, which isn't strong enough to hold it on. So I used super glue gel.

I know it may sound silly, but it's the little accessories like this that I was going to miss.

I wanted a 98 or 99 so I could get the wood steering wheel. Actually found a 96 black on black up in Palm Beach for $6k that was really nice, and clean. But decided against it partially for that reason. Now I'm glad I did.

It's still for sale on craigslist Fort Lauderdale.
