Pretty good deal. Is it a 93 or 94?

The seats look good and change the fluids. How many miles? Make sure the odometer works.

I am pretty excited about it- having fun working out the kinks.


Ha, I must agree! I was born and raised on the coast.


Thank you, and I will.

The seats are in great shape. It seems like no one has ever sat in the back- everything feels like I imagine it did new.

I just rolled over 196k while on my way to the hardware store today. Odometer works as it should.

Updates
Today I...

-Fixed the power tilt of the steering wheel by re-aligning the gear inside of the motor. Worked very well.

-Went to a local junk yard to check out their Lexus selection which was pretty stacked, but just a bunch of ES300's. There was one LS400, but it was quite a bit newer than mine... Looked like about a 97. I pulled the master window switch based on how it looked, but it doesn't transfer to the 94.

-"Fixed" the trunk not working from inside the cabin. Just had to unlock that little thing by the trunk release.

-Attempted to recharge the AC but hit a speed bump... My gauge read that it was at >100psi... Need to look up what I need to do at this point. Checked the gauge by hooking it up to the 4Runner. Gauge works as it should.

Going to wash and clay bar it this evening in preparation for the polish/wax tomorrow.
You paid $50 more than I did, although yours looks better than mine. Just replaced my hood struts so I can save you time looking for the best deal. Here is a link for $26(free shipping), works great:
