Default Possibly buying 93 Lexus LS400. What to look for?

I just wanted to ask the owners what things should i look for in a 1993 LS400 with over 160000miles. Any common problems? The price is good (well under 5K). Do these cars rust a lot in the northeast area? I am coming from Honda/Acura world: sick of cabin noise and underpowered engine, lexus should help with that
What kind of gas mileage am i looking at at this mileage?

gotta give to my honda - still getting 30mpg at almost 125000miles

I'd recommend taking the car to a trusted mechanic or a lexus dealer for a once over. If I recollect correctly, Lexus charges under $ 100 to look the car over.

I own a 1996 LS that I bought last year with only 37K miles on it. This car is unlike any other I've ever owned. If you get a good one, you won't be disappointed. Evem the styling is timeless.

I routinely get anywhere between 19 to 21 mpg in mixed city/highway driving.
