Default New LS430 ultra luxury owner!!

Yesterday I just picked up this 04 ls430 UL with 60k miles. I recently was driving a gs400. The pics that i am posting is from the dealer cause i didn't have time to take new ones.....Later on i will post my own pics. I have to say that is car is a major difference from my gs. I honestly shead a tear when i let my gs400 go but i have to move on to bigger and better things. If i would have know that this car drove so well i would have bought it sooner!!! All opinions are welcome. Enjoy!

Hey, congrats on your LS430 UL. Welcome to the LS430 family.
Gotta love the bow. Looks pretty clean in the pictures.

Welcome. Silver, a very nice color for looking clean longer. Leather looks pretty well worn...

Great car. I to wish I had found out about the LS430UL sooner. I missed all that wonderful driving time. Believe me you are going to look for places to drive that baby. I drove 700 miles in one day just to pick-up 20lbs of shrimp from the Gulf Coast. Planning a 2200 mile trip the first week in June. So good luck with it and hope you have lots of safe and enjoyable miles.

congrats! I got a 01 UL, changed to GS400 and back with a 04 UL as well.
You will love it.
Now adjust your front rods to make the car sits even.

Oh yeah, for sure. When we first got the LS, we said we would not take it yet on long trips or put too many miles on her. Then a month later, we took her from NJ to FL to Disney. ha ha. Atleast once we got there we didn't use the car again until we left a week later, so "saved" some miles there... ha ha.

My poor RX, sits out in the sun now. She had it good for 6+ years in the garage. DARN these homes with 1 car garages !!!!
