New owner, to Lexus and the forum
Hi Everyone,
I just picked up an amazing 05 LS 430, UL, with an amazing 29k miles! So thrilled to drive this car, it's just beyond anything I've experienced, except for (maybe) the 04 Phaeton I briefly owned. Looking forward to many happy miles in this car, and sharing what I can on the forum.

$18995.
I'm happy with the price. I looked at some higher mileage versions for a good deal less, but the condition and the option package was worth it for me.

Congrats from a fellow 2005 UL owner. Stupid low miles indeed. Is yours a Radar/PCS car?
Wow, a former Phaeton owner. Brave. Love the car and the insane lengths Piech went to make perhaps one of the most over the top sedans ever, but wow do they get spendy when things go awry.

Nice ride. Congrats. You'll love the car. I also agree that you had to be somewhat brave to have owned that Phaeton!

Thanks guys!
I did realize what a risk it was purchasing that 04 Phaeton. However, it was a CPO vehicle with at least a year left on the warranty and it had extensive service records. As it turned out, I was spared the potential consequences because another vehicle changed into my lane and smashed the passenger front side. Insurance totaled it immediately, since the parts were either too expensive or unavailable.
Junglequac, yep I've got the radar PCS system. It's impressive. We drove it back from Oregon to Texas and it was a dream on the highway...just ate up the miles. I find myself looking for excuses to drive it now.

Welcome aboard Yo! I too am the owner of a low mileage 05. Mine is an ML (Modern Luxury.. A little less than the UL package) with 49K on the odo. I love it.

Congrats to you, 2KHarrier! I was surprised to find so many lower mileage examples out there, but it made it easier to focus on what option packages I wanted. My desire for a different color got trumped by the UL with the PCS, I guess.
