GET THAT CAR!!! Great price and the mileage! You are going to have to do some services that haven't already been done i.e. timing belt & water pump but it looks to be in fantastic shape!

i would be wary, for several reasons:
1-there was no "Coach" edition LS400 in 1994. it was available in 1997 ONLY. regardless of what the dealer may tell you.
2-that car needs the entire 90k mile service, and possibly more. so thats a minimum outlay of $1000-1300.
3-the above are assuming everything else works.
if you want it, and it's a clean title and all, then i wouldnt offer more than $2800-3000. $5000 spent on it (asking price+work needed) is money enough for a 1995 with ~130-140k miles with the 90k mi done already and service history.

Sorry to burst your bubble, according on lexus.com owners website vin# check says it has about 150k on 4/21/2005. Unfortunately with these Lexus is easy to roll back by just swapping the front panel.
You can vin# check almost any lexus by registering as a owner on lexus.com. It has an option to put in the vin# and see all the maintenance that was done at the dealer.
I actually used that website extensively before I got mine last month.
