Default My LS430 is now my "other" car

Talk about owning two cars at opposite ends of the spectrum! At least I'll stay under the 15K mileage limit on my lease!! Enjoy!

Great minds think alike.

I have a blue 02 Z06 427 TT and am looking for an 04 LS430.

You're going to love the car. Congratulations.

Thanks for the reply Patric. Good luck with your search for the LS. Mine comes off lease next January. Not sure what I will get at that point. If you find an LS, get a set of Michilen Pilot A/S tires for it. Twice the grip of the Dunlops in wet and dry. Big difference in handling, IMO.

I'll tell you what - I appreciate cars on both ends of the spectrum, and if I had a large budget and could afford two high end cars to drive on any given day - it'd be an LS460 on one end of the spectrum, and a C6 on the other end - maybe a Z06 or maybe a LS2 convertible 3LT/nav w/ Magneride and such.
