Default bought my first lexus

i bought my first lexus about 4 weeks ago. its a 91 ls400. white and gray signature color way? i dont know what color way this one is called. if you know let me know. it has about 300,xxx miles but it still runs like a champ! and i hear that lexus motors arent expensive so thats a plus! tell me what you think of my car.





by the way, the first picture does not have a photoshoped glare. its straight from the camera. the only thing i did to the images is resize it and add a sharpen filter which basically makes it clearer for that HD look.

300k miles! Very nice! that car looks in excellent Shape! I have the same Tan/Brown interior on my car, I think its snazzy!

Any plans for a few mods? or just enjoy it in all the glory that is the stock Cushy mobile?

how come it has those rims.. aren't those off a 93+ or am i mistaken, i have a 91 and mine has the regular saw blades.. unless if your rims were an option at the time, which i'm not aware of
and wow, it looks to be in amazing shape for the miles, i have the same interior, black exterior
congrats

thanks for all the feedback guys! i really appreciate it! i been doing a lot of research and found some really nice ls400s with VIP style kits and wheels and all that good stuff! I would like to do something like that, but i really dont have the money for all of that right now, but if you know LEGIT websites i can see these products at please let me know! If you know where i can get a pair of viennas for pretty cheap let me know too! but since i dont have the money for all of that, i might want to throw some 5 star wheels with a fatty lip or some bbs' and lowering it. the guy who i bought this from said he upgraded the wheels from a newer ls400 so that would definately answer your question.
