What a deal! I wouldn't let it sit on the market another day. Better jump on it before it's gone.

Well it is hard to get old, you dont remember what questions you have asked, like "has it had any paint work?"
yes that is why the miles are so low, it was in an accident and set up while legal battles were solved.
ok, I dont think I want your car..

Billy,
Are you looking for another car to replace yours?

well, I was thinking about it, remembering how quiet mine was at 160k (when I bought it,) now 213k and has some "noise" in the rear..
it has taken me 7 years to put 50k on it... so I thought if I could find one 150 or below it should last me... I am 83, 7 more years and
I am 90.. thru driving... but I have not found one as good as mine.. now..
so guess I'l stop looking.

We can keep looking, I know you like the white pearl with the tan leather. The LS400 and not the 430. I'm sure one will pop up sooner or later. Just got to be ready to pounce. I saw the one south of Dallas as you did, but something about the ad did not sit right with me so I didn't even call them.

Huh, it's gone already. Yours looks alot better then those interior shots anyway.(dirty, burns, and worn drivers seat) I'm sure you, and the guy you trust working on your car now, can figure out and fix the noise you here in the rear. I'd say keep the car you got. I know you've fixed alot on it (the right way) and you know the history of it.
I understand what you mean about forgetting to ask questions. I'm only 51 and I forgot to ask alot when I bought my 94 last year. And that was after owning my 93 for 7 years.

Dean, I am really not looking, NOW .. because mine is in such good condition.. even looking at the rear bushings, they show no wear and tear.. I just get an occasional "bump" from the rear.
but I have replaced everything I can think of on the front end, some twice..
