Thanks for the info. I also confirmed that the TB has not been done on this vehicle. I agree with you, not worth it at this price. I'm looking for stock, clean and well-maintained. This is none of those.

interior issues: In the back has couple scratches from the dog. it has an aftermarket 3m wood trim he added it to the interior doesn't look good to me but it can be taken away and cleaned. also, there is an aftermarket alarm or something that is wired you can see it the dash by the driver side.

I gave him an offer $7700 just because how rare the color is. he went down to $8800. I didn't buy it. it's not worth it to me.
Thanks for the update. Sounds like it's not worth taking the time to look at and from issues you described the price you offered is probably more accurate of what the car is worth especially sense it sounds as though he didn't really take that great of care of the car based on the basic mechanical issues he has ignored.

This is why even though Cypress Pearl was not my first choice color, when I found my LS and looked over the maintenance records of the car I had to go a little color blind. Cypress is actually not a bad color most of the time. Only when it gets in really bright sun does the green show it's color and I'm not crazy about the color then. Medium sun to dusk and it looks like a gun metal gray to me and I'm good with that color. My LS seems to be a solid car which is the most important thing.

That's actually my car. I took the aftermarket wood trim off and will be replacing all 4 rotors/pads next week. Also replacing both front outer tie rods as well next week to bring it up to better condition.

Talking ISO of 04-06 Moonlight Pearl with Saddle interior!!!

Hello everyone!! I am new to this forum and in search for my dream car! Painfully, my ol reliable 97 Camry with 300K miles is down so now I actually NEED a new daily driver. Looking for an 04-06 LS430. MUST HAVE the saddle interior AND the moonlight white pearl exterior. I'm located in northern California. I know this combo is very rare, so I'm willing to travel anywhere in the country for one. It probably will take a while to find one, but that's my dream car so I'm willing to wait for the right one. I have cash ready and hope with your help and can finally get my hands on one of these beauties. Thank you and Please let me know what you have!

I have actually. It's a gorgeous thing. I'm actually in talks with someone who has posted his for sale twice now, but gotten cold feet at the last second. Hoping I convince him of selling it.
