Its alive after 7 years
Hello every body, its my first Thread on any Lexus forum ..
My name is Ahmed and im from Dubai
short story :
bought my 1990 LS400 on 1999 to use it for going to work use to drive it very hard never change oil on time some time drive it more than 8000 mile without change the oil , never service what so ever
it has 190,000 now when i bought it was something around 90,000
never have single problem except for the hydraulic suspension change it with used 100 $ normal one .
don't be angry Lexus Fans was teenager and have 2 other cars its just to go to work so i don't care about it that much .
my job was far from home used to drive it more than 150 mile one way every week then work location changed its like 10 mile from my home now .
ignore using the LS400 and keep it in the garage for more than 7 years guess what !!
its working
but with some problems
I care about cars now more than before decide to bring it to life again so happy and i well use it because now i understand what an Lexus mean .
ac need charge, suspension need to be changed , strange problem when i press brake dash light switch off lol
well do full maintenance to it oh and by the way it worth more now (not more when i buy it but more than 2-4 years ago)
any advice , because well be working on it by my hand
Thanks
