My new LS430
Finally after searching the country for 2 weeks and reading tons of posts I have bought my new LS430. 2002 Blue Onyx Pearl base model with....... Ready for this.... 44,000 miles!! 1 old rich lady owner from Boca Raton, FL. Checked VIN# through Lexus website and very meticulously serviced and they even had her do the 90k service @ 38,000 miles! Couldn't be more excited! KBB says book is 20,100 but I got it for 15,000 cash. Being shipped up next week from FL to NH! I'm stoked! I gotta thank everyone on here for all the great info and ideas! Proud to be part of such a great group of individuals!

Thanks guys! I had a friend of mine from FL go give it a once over and he said it's mint. Question for you guys I don't have a Lexus Dealer close to where I live you think Toyota is sufficient for non complicated service? Also I'll post some pics upon delivery next week!

Not everyone who lives in Boca is rich. I live around the corner from your owner. I would have been more than happy to have looked at the car for you! Enjoy your new car! It sounds like a winner. Make sure you get us pictures!

Probably gonna do something about those stock wheels next spring but plan on keeping it pretty simple. Some tasteful 20's and some tint & I'm good!

Looks great! You should be fine to have the Toyota dealer work on it for anything you need - and save money. A number of folks here do that. You probably won't have as plush of a waiting area nor as many snacks as at the Lexus dealer, though. LOL

Thanks for the info Caddy! Yeah I'm all about saving money as a full time student that's why I bought this car with low miles as I'll be driving it for the next 7 years with continuation of regular service! 8-)

Yeah not a big fan of those base wheels but they will work great for some snow tires to help with the New England winters! Any idea of the offsets I should look for with staggered 20" rims?
