LS400 Expenses down the road
I'm generally looking to learn about what it costs to maintain an LS. The little things don't worry me at all. It's the 90,000 mile service that I hear is very expensive - as well as the suspension at a certain mileage. Will anyone be willing to go over what these expenses usually are? It would also be nice if someone would tell me what general maintenance costs as time goes on... And why is it that the antenna always seems to have problems? Not that that's any big deal - I'm just curious...
Thank you!
Thank you!

Just my two cents, but I've found that the LS will never leave you stranded, but chnaces are you won't get away for less than $1000 far any maintenance you don't perform yourself. I bought mine about two years ago. I'm the third owner. Here's what I have had done so far.
1) New "A" arms and bushings and re-alignment: about $1100
2) 4 New brake rotors: about $1000
3) T-belt and water pump: about $1000
4) A/C evaporator and expansion valves: about $1200
Thats what I've had done. Great car though, I've got nearly 150K on it now, it had about 120K when I bought it.
