Default Just got a 2004 LS430 Ultra Lux

Got a LS430 with Ultra Luxury package, $37950 plus $700 transport to Cali. What do you guys think? I looked around here and the lowest I saw something comparable was in the mid $40's

Yes, that is one nice UL, low miles too.
Where in California do you live?
I got one in Los Angeles area for $34K with 55K miles about a month ago.

I live near Sacramento, but I am going to get the lex from a dealer in Oklahoma. I saw a few 04 ultras on ebay (black on black) that had around 50K miles for around $35 as well, but I really liked the flint mica color, and the low miles, and i thought the extra $2k-3k was worth it for only 25K miles

You also got the 18" sport wheels. Ultra come with 17" and 6 spokes. So its a very good price

are they 18"'s because it says in one place in the listing 17" wheels, but in another place it says 18". Can you guys tell from the picture if this car has 18"s or not?

i'm very jealous, because UL is not suppose to come with those 18" for 2004 model year... That's my number one pet pev about my UL lex. I paid just about the same for mine like 6months ago, with alot more miles. But I had to have White on SaddleI got mine on eBay also from tampa FL

Those are the 18" wheels that are standard with the Euro Sport Suspension Package. the standard UL wheels are 17" 6 spokes.
