Default 2nd Gen LS 400 owners-How much did you pay, How many miles, What condition?

Me.

August 2007-$8995 for my 1995 LS 400, traded in my 1991 KA7 Legend for $1250 that had 162,000 miles. Therefore bought it for $7745.

LS came with 92,000 miles on it.

Excellent condition. Paint was very shiny, leather was supple, and everything electrical worked great.

Feb 07 - 11k for a black on black 99 LS. 120k miles, great condition except for some rough paint spots on bumper and side mirrors. Being black, could still use some porter cable/polish action.
Still got my 93 KA8 Legend LS, but about to have to sell it due to being poor

Purchased my 1997 LS 400 for $10,900 in November, 1996 with 80,186 miles.
Generally in excellent condition with all records from Lexus dealer -- not one missing. All services performed on time, including oil changes.

After I got the car I put on new Yoko Avids, new front brakes with original discs lathed and Wagner pads. Changed hydraulic hood supports, new air filter, cabin air filter, detailed it myself, leather perfect, everything works. Replaced timing belt with new water pump @ 95k miles. Some scratches on the lower part of the rear bumper skirt which I will have tended to in time.

I have driven it about 19 k miles since getting it and I couldn't be happier with my gold LS. I do wish it had a Nakamichi radio, however.

$16,xxx, which came out to an even $18K OTD in march 2007 for a 99 LS400 with 47K miles on it. Condition of the interior was great. Exterior had minor damage in the 1/4 panel and front fender area. Looked like a parking lot scrape

I bought my 99 in December 2006-January 2007

- Paid $19,750 On the road for 60K miles.
- Traded in a Lincoln LS Sport which they gave me $13,000 RIP OFF
- So I paid around $6,750 over the course of a few months.
I overpaid, I know...but im happy with my car.

I paid 18,500 OTD for my 99 with 75,000 miles on it in 8/05.They fixed a quarter panel that had a dent in it, but other than that one of the cleanest ones I found. There were a few I was considering at the time and ended up with this one. All service records and everything. Oh and that was also with an aftermarket warranty.

Paid $10,750 for my '98 LS 400 (with 81,000 miles) in Nov. '07. Up to about $11,750 with new tires, hood struts, air and cabin filters, plus a few other items. Changed the oil yesterday for the first time and it was easy. Takes more time to remove and reinstall the plastic under engine cover, then the oil and filter.

Overall good shape for a 10 year old car and it has run like a dream. First long trip to Vegas last weekend was great but I won't be buying any cars anytime soon if you know what I mean.
