Saying what's up from sin city! I just picked up my 1991 Ls400 from a friend for $500. Only thing it needs is a brake job and a whole new power steering system.

Congratulations and welcome. Please become very familiar with the UCF1x FAQ stickied at the top of the forum as well as the LS400 bible at www.lexls.com
$500 is a great deal for such a car. May I ask the mileage?
As PureDrifter mentioned, LexLS is a great resource for you to reference, when attempting the needed maintenance.
I'm also curious about the paint color, as Dicer is. Is it the Black Onyx or the Black Jade Pearl color? If you're not sure, the paint codes are located below the barcode on your VIN sticker. I usually reference the specific color codes here: http://www.toyotareference.com/lexusls/1990-1994
One thing to note about the PS system, the pump is known to leak and go bad, and it's located right above the alternator. A common problem is the pump leaking ATF straight onto the alt and killing it pretty quickly! Probably want to replace the PS pump and check out the alternator while you have it off welcome!

Either way, great car. Welcome, again!
117,000 miles and starts right up on first crank. I just replaced the brake pads and one of the rotors. There is a concern about an oil leak I will create a new post about this with pictures. I also believe the color is Black Onyx.

Awesome! The mileage just made the deal better.
Good luck with the work on the car. While we're on the topic of checking the brake pads, here's something I do when taking the center caps off:
Get a flathead screwdriver
Cover the flat head end with electrical tape
Use the screwdriver to remove the center cap
This just prevents any scratches, as your rims also look very good.
