Just joined today (12 years too late). Got some specific issues with Maintenance especially in New York, NY. Need some advice on non-dealer repair options.
1991 LS400 79,000 miles. Garaged in Manhattan (therefore accumulating many nicks and scratches). Facing supposed repairs of up to $3000 for speakers, ball joints, power steering pump, and axle boots according to dealer. Would like to evaluate with non-dealer repairshop, and replace speakers myself. Any ideas ?? Is it worth doing any further repairs of this thing or should I just sell? It actually runs as well as ever. Questioning the dealer as he once told me to rebuild the transmission while a transmission specialist (Aamco) did a diagnostic and determined all that was needed was new fluid !!!
Help! ?
