Picked up a 98' LS w/ 170k miles for $3,500.00. ORIGINAL owner! 78yr old woman! ALL service records from Lexus (14 Pages) front and back. Spoke with one of their service advisors and he indicated to me that she had it there every 2-2,500 miles for oil changes. All maintenance is up to date. Garage kept too! Drives like a dream. Near mint condition. Love it and can't wait to start modding :woohoo:

Congrats on the purchase. What's the first mod that you have in mind?

Wheel_Man Nov 18, 2014 04:33 PM

Coilovers, rims and a few suspension components ;-)

Thanks! I'm very familiar with CL. This site has been a WEALTH of knowledge! A DIY's dream :-D

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Wow, congrats on the purchase! That's a bargain for the condition and mileage of the vehicle. Those go for significantly more down here in Atlanta with over 250k miles.

you scored big time on that puppy.

$3,500?! How did you swing that?

dveneman Nov 24, 2014 07:49 AM

That looks very nice !
Grandma is going to miss her car.
How does the seat bolster look?
Sweet deal.

Hiroshi12 Nov 24, 2014 03:20 PM

Looks to be in mint condition and nice price too. Is it green?

SocalBobby Nov 24, 2014 03:32 PM

Wow. Nice find. It looks to be in great shape! Can't wait to see what wheels you decide to get.

RA40 Nov 24, 2014 04:52 PM

Looks good congrats!

The car is Onyx Black w/ a tan interior. Only the driver's seat shows some wear. The rest of the interior is mint. @ Thomas GS4, I saw her pull up to a handicapped parking spot at a local grocery store and asked if she'd consider selling and she told me that she'd entertain an offer in the mid $3K range. It took her another 40-50 days to find a replacement vehicle and I purchased it afterwards.

As far as wheels go, I'm thinking about some step lip Works. Possibly 19's or 20's and a slew of suspension components :D She actually drives better than most newer cars I've been in. Love it!
