We are looking at buying a 1994 Lexus ES300 for one of our daughters. When I test drove it,the speedometer would stick sometimes, then it will suddenly act normal. Is this a mecahnical (cable) speedometer or electronic? Possible repair costs?

If you are mechanically inclined, you can buy a gauge kit that will connect to the low side port. The kit comes with a can tap for freon. Keep in mind freon gas is minus 30 degrees coming out of the can.
Valve stem seals can cause this problem, but normally only when first started. Oil in the rocker cover seaps through the oil seals into the cylinders and is burnt up on start up. Try a "STOP A LEAK" additive and it may reduce the oil consumption and smoke. I found some on e-bay and it worked on my tired old escort. It even stopped the rattling tappets.
