Default Newbie, sorta, bought a 03 LS430

This is the third Lexus I have owned, 92 SC400- roommate bought her and now has 260K miles, loved the car, then a GS 430 and sorta liked but wanted something bigger, today bought a 03 LS, LOADED except phone, I love the car.....

I hope the 19s off my GS430 will fit on my LS.

Had a different handle here when I had the GS but forgot and moved and I am old and the mind is going, the 70's were very tough.

BTW, drove a 04 LS and they are really quick but couldn't pass up a 10grand discount on the owners wifes car.

Congrats. I just bought my '03 LS430 this past August. (It's my first Lexus)

BTW, you say you are old. How old is old?

Talking

Actually I went there to buy a used 2001 LS but wasn't as clean as I wanted so I drove a stripped 04 which hauled @$$ but liked the all the bells on the 03.

50 almost 51 but still a kid, that is old on this board.

I hope the owners wife is happy, I have an extra 10k in my pocket.

Glad to see there is someone older than me (I'm 41). I just had the feeling I was in a very small minority of 1 here.

I just don't get you guys with the monster wheels/tires. My 17 inchers are fine and, frankly, my 15 inchers on my old '90LS were fine too.

I don't get it.
