Default Drove A 2003 LS 430

Hi guys, this is Kielbasa. I have asked some questions about my dad's 2004 ES. I think you guys might know that I am a Town Car guy, but I ran in to a 2003 LS with 72,500. It's a base model with Navigation. It is in pretty nice shape. They are asking way... too... much for it. I drove it about a month ago. I noticed the VSC light was on and I noticed the sub woofer was blown. It also needs a set of tires. I only drove it for about 20 minutes so I didn't have enough time to go over the whole car. But I was wondering if you guys could give some input about the LS. I know they are rear wheel drive and I was wondering about the premium fuel.

Looking forward to some imput.

Thanks...

I have been using Costco regular unleaded, 87 octane, 10% ethanol gasoline in both my 2003 and 2004 LS430 for the past 10 years with no issues.

In terms of inspecting a potential LS430 to buy, attached is the Lexus Certified Pre-Owned inspection form. It can be a good starting point for you...
