Default $7k Ls400?

Had a few SC300s, loved them. Been out of the Lexus game for a while (have a few 2 seaters).

However, need a sedan again, and miss the Lexus quietness. Can I find any LS in the 6-8K range? Looking to keep the car at least a few years.

Appreciate the help. Or should I look at other lexus models? (please no ES).

Appreciate any and all help.

Well for comparison I just picked up a 92 LS400 for $6.4 K

66K miles. Good body condition, but needs some work.

I may be selling my 93 LS very shortly that I bought a couple of months ago. I originally bought it to use as a daily driver but have decided that is is impractical so I may be selling both of my Lexus's. Mine had one owner before me and it is absolutely a creampuff. No dings and the interior is perfect. I just got the timing belt, Fan clutch mounting kit and water pump done last week (expensive)

Depending on what your time frame is.....This car would be a nice pick up. PM if you want to talk more about it. Car has 118K on it.

3500? wow. Thats good. From what i can tell your car is very clean. How many miles does it have?

I can barely find a 95+ for 7k. Actually any nice ones are 9k+. Hmm maybe prices in GA are inflated.

My 93 has almost 180K on it...the car is in pretty good condition minus the infamous ticking I'll be doing away with this Thursday via valve adjustment. The leather is VERY CLEAN. I bought it from some old dude, like 80+, single ..no kids, didn't smoke....Perfect guy to buy a car from, oh except he was a cheap ***. Didn't use the BEST parts for his maintenance. Oh well, can't win everything.
