Ironically I am a police officer and told he that. Her paranoia is so strong that she may not have believed that either...
She is a dentist in Toronto (the power of Google reveals that), I am certain it was not a scam, she is just shi*** at selling a used car. What pisses me off is that it is still on Auto Trader.....each time I look for another one, it keeps showing up
My bank is the one that screwed this up for me, insisting that they have her address with postal code for money laundering rules....most other bank only require a name for a bank draft. I could have done cash but I bank with a virtual bank that has no brick and mortar banks. I am stuck using an ATM, pulling out $20k would take a few days. Anyway lesson learned for me ! And this thread is about what did you pay for recent LS430 purchase.......which I have not done yet !
i'll be back some day with a purchase price !!! I just hope to find another unicorn like this one that got away from me.
If you still wish to pursue, why not use her office address...? (One may expect she transacts many financial transactions using her office address which may easily be found with an intraweb search as you have her name. And, as there also may be something about her licensing on the intrawebs, a search may even yield her home address at located at number 103 something which cab be seen in one of the cars pictures.)
As you have been looking for this car for over 2 years, may it be worth one more shot to follow up with her...? (You probably already thought of all this.) (Looking forward to your post of purchase price, pictures, and details of the car, on this thread, when you do buy your LS430.)
new LS430 owners (and owners for some time) please post
See several new LS430 owners posting messages on threads. CONGRATULATIONS! Hope your LS430 is a great one! (all should be good unless severely abused) And, hope your new LS430 treats you well!
Very often a new owner would post (hope you shall too, and hope even owners for some time who haven't yet posted the information may now do so) the following information on this thread: (A picture(s) also would be nice.) Year: Exterior Color:

Very cheap cars for what you get. All of the 2000ish Lexus are cheap and all are very good cars built to last a life time!
I have now owned 4 90s/00s Lexi, and I still want to own the whole range!
Once you buy a Lexus, you can't really see the point in buying anything else! Used Audi, Jag, Merc, BMW .. ?? No thanks, would prefer a 2000s Lexus any day!
Cheers
Hey whats up, new guy reporting in. I purchased my LS430 sight unseen and it arrived last night and it looks better in person than it did in the photos. I took it out for my maiden voyage for lunch today and it was love at first sit down. I've never driven or even been inside one of these cars so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it has already exceeded all of my expectations.

I’m looking for an 04 thru 06, preferably ML or CL. I’m in New York and would prefer something within 500 miles but will consider longer distances for the right car. Please help me with my search by sending me links to cars with this criteria.

Thanks Latin. I dislike that gray interior. Love everything else about the car. Thanks for sending the link. The search continues.
Hope you find what you want. Hopefully you will find one in the colors you desire in the condition you desire. (Personally, more concerned about condition than color. But, that is I and you are you.)

After seeing what others have paid I probably paid too much. Oh well, still a deal for what it is and I’m happy with it. No service records but I made a judgement call, considering the condition of it it’s safe to say it was cared for. All I’ve done so far was install some FA coilovers and got a detail/paint correction. Probably going to tackle the audio next.
