Hello everyone,
I have been lurking around this forum for the last month or so and finally decided to man-up and buy an LS 430. After using the search function on here about 4,000 times I decided to go with a 2006 CL in pearl white. I drove a little over 600 Miles to pick it up, the ride home was so much better than the ride there! It has 40,000 miles on it and came with the Lexus certified pre-owned warranty. I could not be happier with my decision. I plan to live with it for about 4 weeks and then starting looking at what modifications I want to do. Thanks for everyone's help and I look forward to being apart of the forum.

- Tom

Nice pick up on yours too
