Recycling yard donor vehicles
 

Have encountered numerous LS400's with very good body and trim parts in Pick and Pull, Recycling yards. Some allow you to go into the yard to extract parts, while others do not.

Because Toyota is no longer fully supporting repair parts, it becomes necessary to buy online or visit the yard...

Many LS400's are crushed in short order, so perhaps forum members who come across them would be willing to.post several images of exterior, interior of the vehicle and VIN tag with its location.

If anyone has visibility on a low mileage donor vehicle or one sitting on a shelf, am looking for a drivers seat from a 1998 -1999 (2000?) with Cypress (Agate) interior.

So there were 4 interior color options; tan, black, gray and Cypress-which is a grayish green interior color option.

Cypress interior. Typicall paired with white, Jade Pearl silver or dark jade exterior (others?)


A right hand steering donor vehicle (Celsior) would probably have left hand seat leather in excellent condition

In Rancho Cordova California, there is a salvage yard that must get a majority of Lexus on the west coast. Pickings are so slim here in Oregon that I bought a parts car mostly for the black interior pieces.

Hey YODAONE,

I use row52.com to search salvage yards. Here is a 99 LS that was just added yesterday to the yard out here in Gilbert, AZ. No pics of the interior...i think i will be headed out that way to check it out this weekend. Looking for a wood grain shifter for my 95 LS.

The shifter was there but the wood piece on top was cracked (hard to find one that's not)

Hey cyfi66,

Shoot...thanks for the heads up...i was gonna head that way. You saved me a trip.👍🏽 ill post what we have over on this side of town when i go over. Anything in particular you are looking for?

Been trying to find a working tilt motor for a 98 00

Tilt fix
 

There is a Fix on you tube, very easy .

Wow. I really wish I could grab that left white fender off of that 90'. Damn

damn you got a bunch of them out there. and the one is a navi car!! wish that was local. i need to replace the screen on one of my cars. its faded and browning out plus the disc drive is starting to go

Almost as many as you had go through your hands. ;) :D
It does seem like they all end up in one spot. Here in Ct. whenever I look there isn't many or when they do come in they're stripped clean within a couple days cuz there's guys who just :peep: take everything.

Not what you're looking for but I came across a 93 LS400 with a clean interior and exterior in Maryland rear quarter collision. Thought I'd share it to this collection.

Goddamn animals
 

I went to half off day at U Pull and Pay here in Phoenix. I scoped out a 96 LS when it first hit the yard about 15 days or so ago and it was in great condition. I showed up yestetday to see if the parts i stashed in it were still there and in good condition but some piece of shizz totally screwed the whole car up. They smashed the back window, threw all the parts i had placed in the trunk out, stabbed the seats and smashed a hole through the instrument cluster. When I leave these cars I am sure to close the doors and leave everything in good condition in case another one of us LS owners needs the parts. Unfortunately there are a bunch of buttholes who don't think about the next guy. The engine and transmission are still sitting in this one and would have been nice to pull to rebuild in my spare time.

Some POS really did a number on this poor 96
