Thumbs up I have the same car

I have this car. Black on Black 04 430. And they are RARE up here in Canada. I have yet to find one so I am so sorry for you loss. I would be so upset if I lost my car knowing I most likely could not replace it.
But I am SO very happy that this car held up like it did. Because this is what I drive. Your photos of this accident, I went ahead and showed to others and said THIS is why I own a lexus. Hands down. SAFETY! You flipped your car and you came out okay by the sounds of it. I cant even see if there is a dent on the roof. I was in a recent car accident (not my fault) and the car had no flipping over or anything along that line and it was a write off. I am in near collisions every week and used to get quite scared. But when I bought the Lexus I knew it was a bigger than the IS250 but I thought it just seemed safer. Now I KNOW its a lot safer. Thanx for sharing this.
P.S. I would like to know what addition you added to the bumper. Or if its a totally different bumper as It looks different than mine.

Sorry to see such a beauty go.. but glad to see the car did its job and sacrificed itself for you!
Cars are easy to come by my friend. Your body is not!
These cars are getting rare but not impossible to find. Stay with us at CL!

Glad to hear you are okay.

I must say though that GS stood up well, considering it was rolled over. Gotta love Lexus!
