Hello CL members!im thinking about buying a 2001 LS430 that has 97,000 miles on it.non-UL.the guy is asking $15,500 for it.do you think its worth it?any common problems i need to look for.the car is on a different island,so i need to take a plane ride to check it out.some one convince me!

 

Has the 90k service been done? That's $1200 right there...

im not sure,but what if he didnt?what consists of the 90k service?timing belt,water pump,plugs,wires?

 

yeah make sure he did the 90k service on it.. and for 97,000 miles on an 01 i think the most for that should be around 14,000

paid 16,000 for my 01 with 79,000 miles back in march non ul

 

for hawaii that's probably a good price.

the ls430 is sweet if your looking to simplify your VIPcar as a daily driver.

I have 20" wheels, I'm now 2" away from tsuraichi at front and 1.5" away from tsuraishi at back. I can drive the car with no clearance issues with the front bumper or anything else. No need to angle driveways or anything. stock body.

 

actually,im just looking for a reliable daily driver.so i can leave my GS in the garage and use for weekend drives.and since the GS is old and moddified,im always worried about something going wrong.and leaves me without a car.which has happened to me before.if i do pick up an LS,i plan to keep it stock.but,you know how that goes

 

I also think that is "alot" but as someone mentioned you are in Hawaii so your market is kind of limited. As far as common problems I see alot of people with ML systems with blown subs but nothing outrageous.

 

15.5 is a little too much. I just bought 2001 LS 430 UL for $16 Including shipping from Florida to NY.

 

sounds cheap, check carfax and buy it...
