Hello

I test drove an LS400 1993 yesterday and found two apparent problems:
- Parking Brake would not come back to its original position after being
released. I had to drag it back by putting my foot behind it and pushing it
back.
- Temperature and Clock LCD were barely readable. (In the daytime at least).

Please give me any suggestions on whether these are serious, how to fix and
ballpark costs.

I would also appreciate any input on buying this 14 year old car.

Thank you.

Start by applying a light lube to the parking brake pedal pivot and then
looking at the linkage at the rear wheels. Most likely just something
binding. Worst case, you may have to replace the parking brake cable,
probably around $150 for parts.

Sorry, I don't have any practical advice on the temperature and clock LCD
