Got excited to see another LS430 parked next to me when I came out of the store....as I got closer...the excitement quickly faded.
Hard for me to imagine that some owners of this fine machine think of it as "just a car". When I got mine....I felt as if I just bought the best car on the road (And after several years of ownership, I can confirm that is a fact). And I treat her as if she is.
haha I guess you mean the bumper? But the rest looks ok?
Your car looks like mine. We relocated and I now work in a tower. Of course I thought man how am I gonna park now? I have parked on the end or on the street curbed for 8 years. Well, it seems they must oversize parking garages now, I just have to go up to higher levels and I can still park all by myself, safe and sound!
(This is my 335, as I don't have a pic of the LS but I park the LS this way daily)
When I was looking to buy and LS, I found that 2/3 of them were pretty beat or had disgusting interior (or both). I looked at 8 LS's before I found mine with a pristine interior.

yeah. that's how my wife was when she had the car. the interior was in really bad shape when i got it. i still have to work on the back seats as the kids trashed them. hopefully i can get them cleaned up so by the time the car seats are out, everything will still look good. hopefully her new to her truck will end better, lol. looks like he needs to learn how to park too.
See I curb the LS at all times. I honestly don't think there are any additional dings from my 3 yrs. of ownership (there are 3 tiny ones that were already on the vehicle). I even try to curb rental cars, so unfortunately, seems like this is a habit I'll never be able to break. I did not do this with a 1998 Nissan purchased new. It started with the 2007 BMW purchased new. And that one I scuffed the bumper with the snow blower AAAAARGH! lol about a 1/2"x1/2" square.
p.s. I understand that not everyone cares about cars that much either. So it's ok if someone doesn't want to keep the car all tidy and protected. I've actually let my LS go down the drain for washing since the car wash is no longer anywhere close to my commute.

Yeah good interiors are hard to find (esp the Driver's seat). Mine is in great shape and the interior in general is better at 14 years than most 3-4 year old cars I ride in.
