Talking Finally bought my LS today!!!

Exactly what I've been looking for. 1993 LS400 Jade Black with black leather interior. Very rare combo. Stock 16" chrome wheels. No cd/nak/trac/air/heated seats, but has everything else. I'm loving the smoothness, quietness and ridiculous build quality of this car. I cannot beleive how new the interior looks. The car was a trade-in with 77k miles on it It also has brand new Dunlop tires and all new brakes.
You have to see the condition to beleive it. I will take some pictures and post them in a few days. Planned mods are as follows: alarm, big stereo, hands-free kit, and H.I.D (maybe). I'm also considering a set of 17" SSR Type C wheels that my friend is selling.

Oh....and I walked out for $14k out the door

How many miles on it? Looks like standard LS400 since it doesn't have "cd/nak/trac/air/heated seats" Does it at least has memory seats?

I don't have a good outside shot of my car yet so I'm using that pic. The other two pics are of my actual car.

When you say no: "air" what exactly does that mean? Am I incorrect (as I think I am) by assuming you mean "air" as in air-conditioning? That is a nice car. I like those wheels on the 93s and 94s. My aunt also has a black LS 400, but hers is a 1990. Good luck.

Air suspension. I like regular suspension better. There is so much stuff you can do to it!

The air suspension gives you the best ride possible. The shocks are filled with air by phenueamatic pumps and it charges the shocks with air depending on what ride setting you give it, but on the other hand, those type of suspensions if they go out are very expensive to repair. So, there is pros and cons to that suspension. I would prefer the normal suspension, since I have choices of diffrent struts and shocks and if they go out, they are extremely cheap to repair.
