These "well-documented" faults are common to ALL cars of this age, but remember early LS400s are now 30 years of age. In most cases it's the electrolytic capacitors drying out &/or leaking all over the circuit board of the
ECU. Very common on older ECUs, both Asian & European. Easily fixed, most
ECU repairers will know this one.
The thing is, most cars of this age are at the wreckers. The more expensive cars of this type are usually better looked after & more regularly serviced. These cars are usually kept & put on club plates.
The most common fault on LS400s is the power steering hose leaking all over the alternator. Again a fairly straightforward fix.
