Looking at a 98 LS400

99 ls
Hijacking this one:
What are your thought of a 1999 LS400 with 280,000 miles for $4,988?
Lots of miles.
I haven't seen the car in person since it is an hour of drive away from me at a small dealer.
I don't believe it has NAV or Air suspension since it is not disclosed.

FWIW... Just bought a '98 one owner LS400 with 109,899 on the clock. Interior clean as a whistle, exterior has nicks and stuff but not at all bad. No air suspension (wouldn't have bought it if it did) and no nav (I'd rather have nav then not have nav but who cares), sunroof, heated seats (but I'm in MyJami), standard radio, Wood steering wheel (stress cracks in varnish - who cares) and wood shifter, HID headlights. Bought from Lexus dealer for 7249.00. Maintenance history mostly all from same dealer and well taken care of. However I couldn't verify it had been done and inspection revealed a need for timing belt. So I did a very complete timing belt service (seals water pump everything), valve cover gasket re-seal, spark plugs, and re-sealed the auto tranny pan (slight leak) with filter etc. for another 1800.
I think it a reasonable price so don't burst my bubble! The car is a dream and I'm comfortable knowing ALL service is up to date and has no other issues. What a ride! The LS is supposed to be for my wife but she may get more and more use of my '06 Infiniti M35... the '98 LS is far superior.

RE: Buying 98 LS400 or not
I guess I should do an intro first, My name is Mike and live in Omaha, NE. I am looking at a 98 LS400 from a friend at work who is selling it. Her spouse passed away recently leaving her the 98 and an 09, she of couse is now driving the 09 and is selling the 98 which has 101000 mikes on it, he was the only owner and it is emaculate, has all service records performed by the local Lexus dealer and recently had the timing belt changed and serviced. Has brand new tires and has always been garaged. When I test drove it I could not believe the ride and was in total awe! She is asking $8500, suggested retail I believe is around $11000, Please some one chime in and let me know if this is a good deal or not. Thank you in advance.
