Hello all, I’ve posted here quite a few times before... I recently had a 1999 Ls400 with 330K miles, this past thanksgiving a tire, yes a tire fell out of the back of a truck I was behind and slide under my LS, since I don’t have the engine covers or anything I think you can guess what happened, my lower oil pan was caved in, destroying that and the upper oil pan, while cracking the 1UZFE’a engine. All that. From a tire. So I had recently been searching for a replacement and just so happen to find a 2000 platinum edition with a new paint job (5 months old) and 174K miles. Only 1 problem the Lexus dealer found was a bad bank 1 and 2 sensor, but I purchased the car for 2,200 dollars anyway. Here are the pics, enjoy! Hopefully the pictures upload!

Hopefully these upload.

fyi even with the engine under cover shield the oil pan is still exposed.

I know, but I’m just saying maybe things could have been a bit different if it was on, who knows
