I'm back.
 
Had a 92 1JZ-GTE SC400.

Just picked up a 03 LS430.

High mileage but one owner documented maintenance timing belt done less than 5000 miles ago. Super clean inside and out but has a few common issues.

Driver side mirror doesn't move using control but does when reversing so it appears to be just the switch.

Heating on driver side doesn't work thinking heating element.

Passenger side door won't lock which sucks but seems to be a cheap easy fix.

Passenger side front struts is either loose or broken sounds clunky when going over slow bumps.

Valve cover gasket on pass side seems to be leaking.

Anyway Hi and stuff I'm runt and like to get weird.

Thanks I looked at a 2004 GS300 in the same color but the jerks at park place weren't willing to budge on the price so I walked.

On a side note I fixed the mirror switch issue with some percussive maintenance to the selector switch and it now works well enough to adjust the mirrors on command.

It's a 2003 w/ 187K on the clock they were asking $9k+ TTL and I told them I'd pay $9k w/ TTL included and the took it.

They had an 06 on the lot they wanted 16K for and I thought about buying it but didn't want to throw that much cash on something or finance what I couldn't hand them cash then and there.

I've got a bad case of Car ADHD so who knows but I really do love this car so far, just need to fix a few of the small issues and I'll be happy as a pig in mud.

Oh god no, I quit them nearly 2 years ago work for Forced Performance Turbochargers now.

On a side note Check engine and Check VSC light came on this morning on the way to work. Car still drives fine no abnormal vibrations or anything like and and doesn't seem down on power. Will pull codes later to diagnose further.

P0441, p0442, and p0446 likely a faulty gas cap from research replaced with new unit and cleared codes will report back in a day or so.

runt Feb 23, 2014 07:13 PM

So far so good light hasn't come back.

Say I wanted a small drop with very little sacrifice to ride quality what do you guys suggest.
