#3 of 8 1996 LS 400 Loud noises under hood & leaking green fluid by mindyls400 Sep 09, 2009 (3:45 pm)
I have a 96 LS 400 that has 150,000 miles on it. Most are highway miles. I drove it one mile, when I stopped I could hear loud banging noises under the hood. I saw green fluid leaking as well. My shop said that if the car overheated that I may be looking at a new engine. Does this sound correct. I change the oil every 3k miles without fail. Help.....

i am retired and could afford a new lexus. i am looking at some used 2004 ls430s with 50k miles and above. would any experienced lexus driver/technician have any second thoughts with buying a used lexus with this kind of mileage or higher?

The first one in Rochester N.Y. told me that they didn't want to fix it. So be careful buying a used LS 430.   Mike Replies to this message: vcheng (Nov 03, 2009 4:59 am)

The motor and transmission were original and were never taken apart other than routine oil and filter changes. The seats were worn out and the leather steering wheel was beat, but ran fine. He traded it in on a LS 430 with 30,000 miles, It now has 56,000 miles and it is in the shop right now with a keyless entry problem that Lexus can't fix, and most of the time there is a warning light coming on for something.   Mike

Replying to: mike425 (Nov 02, 2009 3:10 pm) Dorschel Lexus is a pretty good dealership. I am surprised that they would not help to fix your car. Did you escalate the issue above the level of the Service Advisor? I am just curious.

Replying to: bob2 (Oct 21, 2009 5:51 pm) The last Lexus I bought, in 2003, was a 1992 with ~151,000 miles. Seller had receipts for water pump, timing belt replacements at 141,000.
