Default New to me 2005 LS 430

Hello all, just wanted to share that I finally got my hands on a LS430 that I've been wanting for a while. I'm second guessing my purchase, but couldn't pass it up. My biggest concern is that it has 288k miles. Other than that, the exterior is 7 of 10 and interior (black) is 9 of 10. Headlights crystal clear. Got it for great deal, but does require brakes and suspension is blown. I'm pretty handy, so will be knocking those out myself. The biggest kick was two days after I bought it, CEL came on with P2757 error code. Looked it up and have to replace a pressure solenoid that will require me to drop trans fluid pan. Still no biggie, but just wanted to share the joy and the concern.

Loving all the 430 stories. I strongly believe these are among the very best cars ever built. In history.
