Default Goodbye LS430UL

I just traded in my 02 LS430 UL for a 06 GS430 loaded. I hope I made a good choice. We'll see. It's being delivered as I type from San Antonio. I should have it in about 2 hours.

Wow you getting rid of all your cars. My cousin bought your SC Good luck on the car. Personally I like the LS, but the GS is a great car in its own right. Have fun Mods planned?

Did they give you a fair price on the trade?

Sad to see the LS go, but it is a good change anyway,
make sure you show us some pictures.

Heck no! They didn't give me crap for it. But they did discount the GS to a fair price. So it kind of evened out....I think....

Hopefully I get it in the next hour. I will post pics when it arrives.

I feel kind of dumb having my car delivered the day before a hurricane is set to it..... that's what insurance is for I guess.

LS430 UL to GS430, very different feel, I hope it is what you want.

I am glad you are staying with Lexus though, they are all excellent cars, just for different needs.

When I was buying my 05' LS430 UL, the only car I was considering was a 06' GS430, I picked the LS at the end and loving it.

It is all personal preferences

IronCobra,

It looks great!

I loves how sporty those GS430 drive without being harsh. I loves those adjustable shocks

Awesome! I haven't seen any cypress pearl for the GS, only the LS and a couple GXs.

Nice car Cobra. Looks brand new. Went from luxury to sporty. The GS430 will have more zip power from stop and go and also better handling, but not as soft ride.
