What cheap V8? Bought a LS400 & it's not for me.

Owned 3 of these. Only fault I have ever had was a coil pack which I picked up off ebay for about £10. Beyond that, all were great, all cost less than 1k and all had over 150l on the clock when I picked them up. Great cars.

Seriously, they're nice cars, but have far more common issues which send them to the crusher than a Lexus of the same era so be careful.
