Default Finally an ls430!!

I have just purchased an 04 ls430 with 108k and all lexus service records the moment she drove off the lot. after much comparison to same year BMW, Mercedes and Audi. I must say I have made the right decision on the ls430. It is a wonder to drive so much so that taking the long road home and sitting in traffic is that much more enjoyable. When you open her up she sticks to the ground and you instantly lose track of just how fast you are going. This forum has opened up my eyes to the many options and customizations that can be done. Although for now I am enjoying her original character.

Very clean ride - have same color combo. It's a head-turner. Enjoy it!
