Nice find. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind my asking?

Had to drive 3 and half hours one way to get it but it was worth it... She's a one owner vehicle with clean carfax report, checked lexus site as well all records are up to date with carfax... couldn't find a better deal on it... feel like I stole it from the guy for that price

I'd say so! That's a great deal! I've seen some local to me that wanted that sort of money for between 120-180k miles....

I almost got my hands on a 92 with similar mileage but the owner didn't want to sell and I wasn't going to pay the price to pry it from his hands!

Plans for it?

Very beautiful, it can be a challenge to find an LS in that kind of condition. Congratulations on the new car. That is my favorite LS model.

Great deal! KBB on my 99 with 72k is 14 grand. KBB seems a little above what the market will bring but still you picked up a beauty. I have the same model as yours except with Nakamichi and without the heated seats. They are a real joy to drive. I would look into the timing belt service at some point. You have really low mileage but Lexus recommends the service every 7 years. There seems to be a consensus that mileage is really the determining factor when it comes to the timing belt but I am sure weather conditions and time takes their toll on the rubber belts as well.
