Default Newbie- Just want to say hi!

Hey all! I'm new here, so I wanted to introduce myself.

I just purchased a '94 LS yesterday. Was looking for a cheap car, and all I was finding was crap. After a lot of research I discovered there was quite a love for these older Lexus'.

After looking for many weeks I came across a pearl white '94 with only 89,000 miles for $2600. Owned by a little old guy. The car seems to be great, and is one of the nicest driving cars I've ever driven. Not as "tight" as a Mercedes or BMW, but very comfortable and relaxing to drive.

It does have a few problems which is how I stumbled upon this place:
*Antenna motor runs, but antenna does not move
*Drivers exterior door handle cracked
*Socket for tail light "side marker" bulb is toast
*A couple of the window motors seem a little sluggish
*Front door speaker grill hanging loose

That's all the problems I can think of. I'm hoping I'll be able to find some tips from you guys. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me. :-)
