I have been looking at buying a '92 LS400 and i was wondering what i should be looking for, as for major problems. Is there a big problem that these cars have that could cost a lot down the road? A big worry i have is the transmission. I am always scared of auto's trans. Are they pretty solid or should i look at having it rebuilt?


Here is some of my car past

hate to be the one that said it but search. this exact topic comes up and is answered regularly.

the list of common issues is relatively short. maintenance will make/break it.

i searched and couldn't find much and if there was something, there wasn't any good info.

Cool wheels on that car.
I don't like the Scion.

The 90-94 transmission is quite a good unit. If you have a failure, replacements are cheap and available.

you wont have to worry about the transmission as long as your confidant it was properly taken care of...

I have a 90' and I love it, solid v8 motors and the trans has 187,*** miles and it doesnt slip and shift smoth solid trans I had the same questions before I bought mine but so far with a tune up and propper care for the car,and there awsome solid cars

They are rated as one of the most reliable cars ever made, and the transmission is the best automatic tranny I've ever driven, miles away from normal Autos, shifts perfect, converter locks right away, its not like driving a normal Auto Car.

so true!! these cars are built solid everything on the drive train is over sized and made to last
