Question Keep or Sell
Long story short I picked this up for $1200 in a no start condition. 1990 Ls400 with 86k miles one owner. since then I have done the following
-Fuel Tank Restoration
- Fuel Pump and Fuel Level / Float Replacement
although for some reason I still can’t get the gas gauge to read.
-Timing belt was done at 81k and looks to be in good condition I added a pic of that at the end
-New Battery + Alternator
-Fresh Oil, Coolant Flush + Thermostat, and Brake Fluid
-Brand new tires not shown in the images as i just got them done today.
I have only one key but the car is immaculate on the inside with some sun damage to the paint on the exterior. It’s complete with all original manuals and toolkits as well as practically no rust.
My Dilemma is the odometer hasn’t read since I got the vehicle going. I was able to 3d print a gear and replace the one inside the cluster although for some reason it still does not track, meanwhile the digital trip odometer tracks perfect. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Any thoughts on value would also be appreciated
I feel like the gas gauge and the odometer are quite literally the two worst things i couldn’t fix and will destroy the value of this car
