Default Some pics of my 430

Have been a loyal member on here for awhile and really enjoy the knowledge I have gained. Thanks to all of the members on here willing to share.

I wanted to post some pics of my 01LS430. Below are some details:

Currently has 187,5xx milesHave installed the VAIS Ipod interface and recommend to everyone that loves music.

Added the updated 430 18" rims and believe they are one of the best looking rims for this car.

My goal is to drive this car to 300K miles as I have not found another car for under 45k that I would be willing to trade it for And I really hate car payments

Thanks Guys,

Yes I do have the sport model

I do not really have any plans for it at the moment. May upgrade brakes at next needed change. Would like to update speakers but have heard this may be a pain with stock amp?

Looks like it just came off the factory assembly line! I can't tell it's done so many miles already. Excellent job on the upkeep. I'm positive that car will hit 300k miles without trying.

I really want 18s as well. I love a good 5 spoke design...simple and elegant. Too bad I don't have time right now to swap...sigh...maybe winter break or summer vacation I can find a forum member and trade for a set of 18s (with some cash of course).

Just a side note, but I saw a CLS AMG in your sig and just had to say how much I love the look of that car overall. I was stunned (in a good way) the first time I saw one in traffic, they are beautiful cars. I especially like the rims on the AMG models as well. Congrats man!

It's a car i highly recommend driving because even though it's heavy, it accelerates and corners effortlessly. The staggered rims really set the car off IMHO. They still suffer from the German brake dust (minimal compared to the bimmer) but, the spokes are wide enough for me to get in behind them to clean the whole rim - I make sure the CLS looks brand new every time I drive it.

The LS430 gets the weather, road, and beating, because it never complains. The moment you stop pampering a Benz, it starts throwing fits.
