Default Alright...Here we go again! New owner of a LS430

Hey guys and gals.

I just picked up a 01 LS430 yesterday. I have been in the Lexus family for a while. I've been through IS300 to ES300 to SC and about a dozen of GS. I just sold my 2000 LS earlier this week . I swore that I would never sell the LS400 because I loved it so much. I was planning on getting a Prius until...................I saw an ad on CraigsList for a super clean white LS and I just had to have it. Here she is bone stock. Freshly detailed. Thats how im gonna leave her for now, maybe a tint.





I purchased it from the 2nd owner who took care of this car. Major service recently done. Rides like a dream.

Heres a shot of my old LS. I still have the GS430 in the background also

Congrats! I just picked up one the same color yesterday too...got an 04 Ultra with the brown interior. Not sure what Lexus calls that and never thought I'd want a car with a brown interior. But after sitting in it and seeing how plush it is, the decision was pretty easy. Actually what really sealed the deal was the massage seats and the built in refrigerator in the back!!!

I always wanted the white as my first choice. Seems like you got the 17" rim option. Is the interior grey or beige? Nice looking car. How many miles? Enjoy.......looks very clean.

It has 140k on it. But still drives like a dream. My LS400 had 205k and was still running like a champ too. So i have no doubts in these vehicles. The interior is a very light tan. Not like the tan color in the GS. I think its IVORY. It would be nice if it was grey.
