Default SERIOUSLY considering purchasing an 98-00 LS400! GIVE ME THE RUNDOWN guys!

Are there any mechanical or cosmetic things I need to look out for when selecting the best LS400 or problems I need to look out for and the costs associated with them?

Please tell me everything! Don't hold back!

Also, double din radio upgrades and speaker upgrades? Is it worth it or no? I heard it's not easy at all!

power steering leaks need to be addressed, as well as strut bar bushings, upper control arms and transmission mount. - all easy

one of the greatest cars ever made!

It would be wise for you to read major threads and the FAQs before you buy. Most of your questions are already answered there.

also there is no need to have multiple threads for your inquiries. we can handle multiple questions in one thread.

most of your questions have been addressed before. all you need to do is search, start in the FAQ section!

I've owned a 93 and the 97 VVti version, the newer one is significantly faster then the older one. Better seats, bigger brakes, better air suspension with less sway, 5 spd auto is a lot better then the still very good 4 spd.
They are one of the top quality cars ever made, easy decision and lots to choose from in superb condition taken excellent care of my older owners.
