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!

 

Nice catch - patience is almost always rewarded : ) We are looking forward to some pics.

 

Congrats! Hopefully you had the car inspected and/or you inspected it personally so you don't have any surprises when it arrives.

 

congrats on your new purchase

 

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!

 

Congrats on the purchase, us members like pictures, please post them

 

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!

 

These are some shots the seller took in FL

 

Very nice love the color... what's the 1st thing your going to do to it?

 

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-)

 

very nice color combo - looks very well taken care of. I would have to change the Rims out myself.

 

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?

 

Yes , VERY nice pick up!!
