No affiliation with seller, just don't see them this old and this clean at the same time.

You know what gets me? I have seen lots of fairly good looking low mile gen 1's just like this one. And even that 3000 mile one about a year ago that a California dealer had in their show room. But the big problem with all of them they all seem to be just as base as can be, with pretty much zero options, just like this one, no cd player or other options, even the seats are fabric.

And you have to love how when people advertise them, they always seem to mention "Automatic transmission" it was not an option in an LS400!

I always liked the cloth seats more than leather. Really nice car; $5500 is a really fair price for its condition and mileage. I've never seen an odometer that clean, either!

It's nice to see one without a sunroof and a cloth interior as well, like my own.

I'd pass because of no leather.

The number of sub 100K mile LS400s of any year is getting smaller and smaller. This is a nice find, and I think it's a fair price since there's not many other nice cars you can buy for this price. I would also prefer leather and more options, but the lack of options wouldn't keep me from buying this car.

The first LS we got is a very low option one, but does have trac and heated seats. I'm always afraid to make an allowance like that because it seems like the next day or so the perfect one shows up. And its not always like you can jump in and buy another car, this state has limits of how many you can buy and sell, unless you have a dealers license to do it.

So, amazing these are coming up at the same time... Here's a 90 low mile version for 1/2 the price.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5631412110.html

Non-leather but with the sunroof.

Why would you not want cloth seats?

I might understand avoiding cloth in a run of the mill car, since that would indicate base model/lack of options...
But this is an LS, they are all the same great cars no matter what the seats are made of.
