I don't care who owned that LS, I wouldn't pay 40 grand for a 1990 LS400. What's the retail on that? 5-6 thousand?

HA! That was on eBay a week or two ago for $6k with a reserve. I'll have to look and see if somebody bought it in hopes of reselling it for a lot of money.

There's what it actually went for. Thats what I would've thought it would get. 40k HAHAHA!

Whoever owned it was not smart enough to have the unidirectional wheels of the Gen 1.0 positioned correctly.

The seat back storage sleeves are most likely where Bill stored his classified documents. I was looking for any lost Microsoft paperwork that could be of any historic significance, but to no avail. I did find, however, a light brown hair that could very likely be from Bill Gates' head. Ever think of cloning Bill Gates? This could be your chance!

Wow the seller has some issues. Id never pay that much for a 90 ls.

I thought Ebay links were not allowed for items for sale by MEMBERS here??

EDIT: I thought that was the only reason Ebay links are not allowed, so im not sure why this one was removed?

How in the world would I have known it was for sale by a member here. I thought the eBay links rule was for SELLING things.

Tell me, how would we discuss something like this, even in the general forum, not LS, without posting the eBay link. Mod's in the other parts aren't this strict.
