Default Anything I should know before I buy an LS?
I'm about to make a jump on a 2000 LS400 Platinum Series, but I want to know if there are any problems I should be aware about. It's at 130k miles and has new timing belt/water pump, a new fuel pump, new front control arms and ball joints, and a new serpentine belt. It also has all the service records. How easy is it to do basic maintenance on it?

Thank you. I probably should have noticed this at the top of the page.
