Match the part to your interior color...

Just posted the car for sale. I paid 13 last year. It is an excellent total dealer service car w/ 106 (everything that breaks is done) but I don't expect to get anything close. Next will be an 05-06 base or premium. Upgrade the sound system (w/ display and more iPhone use options). Agree on Nav. I've never used it and will not miss. Phone is much better.

I agree that it would be nice to have more iPhone options with the current sound system. Good luck with your sale. That is a rare and nice color.

It is Gold with no navi, dealer serviced with 135k. T-belt, tires, and brakes have all been done. Very clean car, some wear on the drivers seat and arm rest.

Sold my 01 Base (102k) last year for 8,000. TB & LCA's done. Turn key, looked and ran great.

Thanks for the info guys on pricing for the 01. I listed it for $7000 yesterday for the hell of it, and two people are coming out to check it out today. I guess the color isn't as bad as I thought. I think it helps that the car is fully dealer serviced and very clean.

An 05-06 Premium is starting to sound interesting.......

It's kind of funny because in another few years all LS430s regardless of year will be worth the same! I paid $11,750 for my 2001 LS430 7 years ago and now I'm fairly certain I might get between $7500-$8,000 because of original never blemished paint and interior.......however if I keep it for another 5 years, most of LS430s will be about the same price and under. Who wants a 20+ year old car regardless of reputation? This forum has a following because of knowledge and dedication to this great car. Be assured this won't continue forever and our values will continue to drop. Still love my aircraft carrier. Comfortable and quite ride. Will keep it going until it just dies.
