searching for the temp.
Found a decent LS that won't seem to give me any headaches. Details on second page.
93 ls400
Body's in good shape, motor runs well, front seats worn, only thing is there's a ticking sound I can hear in the cabin when I drive it and when it's idling. First thing I noticed when I test drive it. No cel, new spark plugs, new waterpump, timing belt, etc.

ls400 geek, yeah i am talking ot the guy right now he said it was running 12psi and the car hasnt been throughly checked out, for the price of repairs or a motor swap i can probably get one of the others i listed on the bottom of the page. he dropped his price to 750.

They are trying to get rid of a headache. That headache can soon be yours, only 750
In the end this one will be cheaper and better

i would only get that car if the interior and body is mint. the motor is on it's way out and would require a rebuild or change. a boosted motor not intended for boost is asking for short and long term problems.
how long do you plan on keeping the car? it seems your priority is just to put mods and wheels on it. most of us here want a reliable car, which the LS generally is, if maintained properly even before any modding.

I do not want to rush into buying the LS400 but I need a car to drive asap as my younger sister drives the xb now.

I plan on picking up a ucf20, since all the others were garbage and the one good one that i really want might get sold tomorrow, I might as well just save up my paychecks to get the remaing 3k for that and maybe lowball since that cars been up there for such a long time.
the body and interior looked mint except for the guages and such, and I want a reliable car as well, thats why I am checking what fits my budget and accounting how much it would be to catch up on maintenance and such. I was going to research on where i can find a used 1uzfe with transmission and price out how much it would cost to just swap that into the car, the car has also had a rebuilt title due to theft from the previous owner before that which is not very assuring. I plan to keep this car for a while reason why im looking for a 4 door sedan and not a coupe. When it comes to repairs Ill most likely end up doing most of it myself, and if its something out of my skill level, ill just take it to my neighbor who is a toyota technician with an LS400 of his own as well.

Like everyone else is saying, save up and keep searching! There out there you just gotta look for it, I spent probably more than a year on/off searching until l I finally found mine and hopped on it right away. It was well worth the wait

ever consider going outside of the state, say CA or AZ? you may have better luck with selection. i drove 130 miles away to find my LS, took 3 months of searching through cars like you, and am totally happy with the purchase. like everyone stated, be patient but i understand your situation is tough.
