I bought this car. Once I saw the condition t was a no brainer. Previous owner was maticulous with this car. He already had the 60K full lexus service done to it. Due to the age of the car a year ago timing belt, valves, and water pump were done at the lexus dealership. Front brakes have been done. Navigation system has been updated. All the sevice and oil changes done at lexus dealership. 1 owner car with 53K miles. I will upload pics a little later today. I took some with my digital camera.
One owner vehicle is the way to go. They're usually taken care of so much better. Welcome to the wonderful, and expensive, world of the LS. 
What kind of deal did ya end up getting? Can't wait for pics, when ya get a chance.

I got my 2001 LS430 for 10k out the door....On craigslist at that... It had 120k miles when i bought it, and im at 172k now with no major problems since i bought it. I'd go shopping for the 430 if you have that kind of flow to buy an LS...JMHO

Ok here's the pics. Just drove it home Best $12,700.00. I ever spent. 
My god so much differant than my Nissan Altima. Some people may say I over paid by 2 or 3K for the miles but fine by me. Piece of mind is worth it.
1 owner all regular oil changes and lexus maintence all done by Lexus. Even though it has 53 K the guy went ahead and did the 60K service so thats done. Last year due to age Lexus replaced timing belt, water pump, valves. (so thats done) Front breaks have been done. Navigation also updated. I've looked all over autotrader and even the ones from private sellers are going for 11K with 125 K miles. Here's the pics let me know what you think.

Here's another low mile 1 owner 2000 LS 400 in FL if anyone is looking. This has 64K but they are asking 15K for this one. It still has original timing belt to so that needs to be changed. I checked into this one as well.

That thing is awesome, clean, and mint. Some people may say that you paid 2 or 3 grand too much BUT the timing belt and everything was done, so you got that peice of mind knowing you don't have to worry about it for a while. You got any engine shots, is it just as clean as the rest of the car? Fla. cars are the best.

Yeah I will take pics of the engine it is just as clean. Guy was pretty **** with his car. Who does the lexus 60 K service when your car has 53K miles and you are trading it in for a new LS 460.
