Smile Just bought mine

Finally after months of saving and looking for the right one, I finally found it. I picked up my first car, 2000 silver LS400. 81,000 miles, got it for $10,800. Love it so much! Even for a 13 year old car its in amazing condition.

Congrats, exactly like mine. The best, smoothest car you will ever own. Keep it stock, don't mess with suspension, wheels etc. you will mess up the rides, Lexus engineer spent over 1 billion dollars in the 80's developing the ls400 project know as "project F" enjoy her as she is

Everything works great, I just have to get the wheel bearings replaced. I also plan to keep everything stock, I'm not "slamming" or doing any of that kind of stuff to a car that was built for luxury.

Congrats on the purchase & welcome to Club Lexus. Just about any info you need on your car can be found on this site somewhere. If you need a hand in figuring something out just ask there's plenty on knowledge here.

Well, her shoes aren't exactly that attractive. You don't need to put really big shoes on her but even decent looking 16 or 17" rims make the car look so much better.
