Default Need some Advice (Looking @95LS w/137k)

Hi guys! I need some advice as to what to look for when I am looking over this car. What are some of the bigger (more costly) repairs that I should walk away from? I will be looking at this car around 3PM so let me know.

I recent sold my GS300 so I am looking @ the LS400 line.

Thanks

Power steering leaks are common on the early 90s models I think. Also, check the LCD lights, as well as the lights in the instrument cluster. such as the lighted needles and backlighting on the actual panel. Check the air suspension (if so equipped). I think timing belt needs to be changed every 90K. Hopefully someone with more information will key in here. Good luck.

Default AC

At 137,000 it should have had it's timing belt changed. What has been done to the AC. It can cost quite a tidy sum to replace all of the parts in the AC chain.

good luck, damon

Oh, yes I just spend $2700 fixing the A/C on my 1990 LS 400, this thing is costly to repair.
