Thanks for the replies! I'll be sure to check any potential car if the suspension has been changed (as that's one of the main worries). Windscreens seem to be huge expensive if they break, and I'm a bit worried that insurance would total the car instead of replacing it. Will also keep an eye out for ECU problems. One step closer to an LS400!

Long time Lexus fan and lurker of this forum. It's been a very interesting resource! So to my question: After googling for way too much and watching way too many videos on YouTube about the LS400 I decided to create an account on this forum. LS400's are far and few between in Sweden, but I passed on a very nice looking dark blue LS400 this summer and it's been haunting me ever since. V8's aren't very common outside of newer cars / vintage American muscle cars etc, but I kinda feel like if I don't get a V8 soon, it'll be too late (with gas prices and general availability). So now a nice looking 1993 in a lighter blue color (blue interior) shows up @ 155k miles for ~3 grand. Dude put coilovers on it, but the original dampers are included. It's not cheap, and there is probably some wiggle room. However, there is one big worry I have when it comes to buying an LS400 and it's the parts availability. I've googled and googled but am left unsatisfied with parts availability in Europe. I know that some things are relatively expensive (suspension arms etc), but sometimes I'm not sure if it's because of limited availability or the genuine cost of the part. Any tips/recommendations?
