Default LS400 and now 430 too
Picked it up last week. Great service records, timing belt done at dealer. It's a 2003 with 130K. It's quite a leap up from my 96, although I think my 96 ebony teal is one of the finest looking cars ever made.

The 430 is roomier, especially the trunk. It's more luxurious and has lots more power. The extra 50 lbft of torque is very apparent especially around 70mph.

Boy, is that guy in for a surprise! He's going to wish he still had the Lexus! I give him one week, before he breaks down.

Congratulations on the purchase! Look's great!

Congrats on the new ride. The trunk is a definite plus on the 430's, doing extended road trips with the trunk of the LS 400 is For that matter, even a Costco run presents space issues. Hahaha...
