Should I save some more money to get newer ('97-'99) LS400 or should I use it to get some hot wheels?
Definitely go for the 98+ LS400. It is heads and tails a much nicer car than the original model you have. Lots of upgrades & lots more power (40 hp, 40 lb/ft). The torque convertor is much more aggressive, so you'll notice alot of seat-of-your-pants acceleration difference. It is also roomier & quieter and has nicer seats & rims. Handling is also improved over the original model. Nav & HID lights are available in the 98+ models, along with in dash CD changer (95+ models). I've seen many car ads for 98's for under $20k. I'd guess that your car is worth in the $6-8k range, so the price difference isn't all that significant to upgrade to a much, much nicer car.
