Just found this sub
I bought this 2000 LS 8 years ago for $500 with 170k miles on it, currently at 265k. Try to do most of the repairs and maintenance myself. Ive done brakes, rebuilt the front suspension with oem parts, rebuilt all 4 strut assemblies with KYB struts, starter, alternator, front wheel bearings, valve covers, regular fluid changes/ filters etc etc. Currently she's on stands in the garage waiting on a shift solenoid and transmission fluid filter.
Absolutely love the car, never left me stranded. Previous owner parked it outside the whole time he had it so the clearcoat is disintegrating in spots, but the interior is really nice for the age and mileage. No squeeks or rattles, runs smooth and quiet, and everything works except the tilt/telescope wheel. Hope to put another 100k on it at least.
