Lemon check
Had very recently said goodbye to an aging LS. But it didn't take long for me to start having withdrawal symptoms...started looking around for something quiet with good music.
What do the experts think about this for 37K (+$400 for transport)

I know everyone loves pictures in here.

Awesome find and I love the color...
But two things you might want to look into. 1) why are there new tires with less than 10K of miles and 2) Florida car that was in NJ and now is in California? (thats a lot of moving)
If you haven't sent the payment, you may want to atleast run a carfax on it. I seriously doubt anything is wrong but those are two pretty big red flags. Peace of mind is priceless....
Oh and wow was it cold outside when they took the pics of the dash. =)

Thats a clean carfax report. Title changes is what i would be worried about and it seems like thats not the case. Good find....

rock chips are a nightmare for this type of low profile car espcially the front.
by looking at the detailed pics, there doesn't seem to be any.
the next owner will have to protect the front end w/ clear bra and that will do the job.
it's a very nice blue color. that's a good find.
