Im new to the LS, dont know much about them. I have found two that Im interested in.
04 with 55k miles on it, I dont think its the UL, it has most of the normal stuff, nav, heated/ cooled seats, etc. $19500
or
03 UL with 70k miles on it, I think it was $20,000
What does one have over the other, Im leaning towards the lower mileage 04. Im not even sure of the difference between the 2 years.

Subtle but significant differences between 03 and 04. I'd get the 04 with lower miles.

Go for the 04. I just went from a 95 LS 400 to an 01 LS 430. The jump was significant because the engine in my 01 was introduced in 98. A mid life cycle change through that generation year. So the 04 refreshen won't be as significant as it was in 98, but the 04 can only be better.
UNLESS your going to ride in the back seat, then go for the Vibrating rear seats and the refrigerator of the the UL package in the 03.

the 04 will have adaptive headlights (they move when you turn) and two additional airbags (knee). The tranny also increased the 0-60 over the 2003s. Don't look back!
