Default My 2000 LS430 (Yes 2000)

All,

Here is my car.

A 2000 model (Nov) LS430 Australian Delivered
120,000kms which is about 75,000 miles.
Black on black

Trivia: 2000, 2001 LS430 in australia had no nav as lexus had no rights to make gos maps in that year.
In australia there are no options all lexus's come fully loaded
In australia there is no air ride or ML sound system.

This car is in picture perfect shape for its age. The miles are great as well. Great ride, now all you have to do is the services and it will be trouble free. The only thing to deal with is normal wear and tear like, tires,brakes etc.! Great find dear sir. Australia seems like a great place to live as well! L.G.N.M

Thanks for helping me make the right descision. i actually thought everyone would have said go the 04 and it would have been so much hassle to do it.

I Got the smart key system working and am very very impressed with the side view mirror lightling up when i was up to the car. This is by far 250 times better than the 98 ls400 i owned
