It's been an interesting few months, Back in March, I sold my aging RX300 and bought a 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo to drive on my commute between Milwaukee and O'Hare airport in Chicago. I put about 3500 miles on the car in the last 2 months, and I quickly grew weary of it.
So, I decided to go with a proven winner, and I traded the Veloster in on a 2005 LS430 with 48K on the Odometer.

Super clean car and very nice. It has the Navigation, and the rear shade. Came with the parking sensors as well.

It drives a little nicer than the 2001, but it has 70,000 less miles on it...

I'll add some more photos soon..

 

Haha, congrats!!! The new LS looks great!

 

Good stuff, congrats!
At 48k it's barerly breaking in!

 

Boy, you ain't kidding... I'm amazed at how much tighter the steering feels and the ride feels on this car compared to my '01

 

Well-bought. Nice upgrade too. Congrats.

 

Congrats... I love my LS430. Go Packers. LOL...

 

Here they are in the barn this morning, when I was taking out the trash

 

Call me old. But I love that color

What did you pay for it?

 

Probably too much
17,500. It has great service history all at Lexus. Although not much had to be done...

I figure this thing should last me until I retire in 10 years.

 

Even longer

 

Great find and I see you're into diversifying your auto choices...
Congrats on the ride...

 

Yeah, I tried to diversify, but look what happened. Very happy with it so far.. (Day 1)

 

Passenger seat looks brand new

 

I love posts where the LS430 is replacing a newer car. Says a lot about this particular time stamp of Lexus production. Congratulations on another solid decision in life ^_^

I like that color as well. I almost went with the darker chocolate brown forget the true paint name but it was going to cost too much to ship it from florida.

 

Rear seats are like new as well. The car still has that "New leather" smell
