Default How do you tell diff bet. a reg 430 & 430UL?

I'm looking at ads on the web and can't tell the diff bet the 2 models by looking at it. How can you tell the difference between a regular LS430 and 430UL? The only diff I know is the back armrest contains the radio/massaging controls and fridge. Any other differences?

Default Look at the center console

If there are numerous amounts of switches in front of the shifter lever, more than likely it is a UL.

That is prolly the best one. Because the suede headliner, headlight washer nozzles, and radar also come on the similarly equipped custom luxury package.

ultra front bumper is little different, has the radar. but sometimes it's hard to tell if image is small.

Not necessarily. I have mine in the grille as part of the pre-collision system. The custom luxury package also includes a radar.

Also, double-paned glass is an option on the custom luxury (I have it on mine) - so it's not dependable as a distinguishing option.

A bit off topic, but I found a 2004 LS430 Ultra, Showroom condition in and out. Black/Black with 45K miles. Price 35K. Reasonable price?
