Contray to popular belief, Advances do not all have LSDs. They were optional extras. Easiest way to check to see if it has it is to jack the front of the car up, and turn a wheel by hand. If the other wheel spins the same way at the same time, then you have an LSD. Looks like a clean example, I have to say, although it's not good news about the CV's and bearings EDIT: Edited info about LSD after seeing Sparkys post >.>
