    1996 LHS

    I am getting a used 1996 LHS in a couple of days. Any hidden gotchas or
    recalls on this model that I should know about??? Car seems to have no
    problems except for a few very minor cosmetic details. The Radio is the
    Infinity sound system with CD and the display did not light up when I
    took the test drive so I could not see what I was tuning. Also the A/C
    seems to be working but not at full charge. Can I service the unit
    without taking it to a shop?? Any links where I can get parts for this
    car?? I am looking to get the little parts that would make this car
    look "brand new" again. It needs the "S" on one side of the rear for
    "LHS" and the shaft of the windshield wiper control is not shinny black
    anymore.

    Thanks for any and all info
    Lloyd

    Nice car but several gotchas.

    Several recalls that should be verified. My 94 had fuel system, seat
    back and suspension recall. Also a power seat customer satisfaction
    repair.

    I would get the AT fluid replaced with the right fluid unless you are
    sure it is the right stuff inside. Check the manual for spec.

    Sometimes people think engine mounts are going. Usually it is the
    rear transmission mount instead.

    There's a guy on Ebay who proclaims to fix the radio displays in these for
    cheap. You might look on there for him.
    Also, the A/c is R134A so if you think you know about A/c systems give it
    a whirl. Just remember that a rebuilt Napa compressor costs $300. If you
    overcharge the a/c you'll probably blow the seal on it. Also, they had
    problems with the evaporators on these inside the dash. It's a big job to
    fix and a PIA.
    I wouldn't worry too much about the S. Or the Wiper control stalk. They
    all do this. Just put some black shoe polish on it and don't worry about
    it. It's the plastic that is discolored. If you drive this car for a while
    you'll have plenty of other things to spend your money on.
