I've had short "chat" session to get more information for you. The lady on the other side don't know what trim it is. The picture on the listing shows GOLD, but the car is grey (confirmed with the sales lady). In WA, the price for the '05 model is really low so it is probably base or CL...

They are supposed to post images tonight. I need someone who knows LS430s to look it over, make sure it drives as expected, and see if everything you can think of works. Also check if it is a ML, CL, or UL. I will also have it professionally inspected, but a LS430 owner's opinion is valued.

Re the professional inspection, how is A&M Automotive?

Thanks,

Greg

I spoke with a salesperson who saw the car come in. She confirmed it is flint / black w/nav. She said she used to sell for Lexus - but didn't know the trim level.

Shame shame... use to work for Lexus and does not know which trim it is? If it's got nav. and nothing "special" beyond as denoted in the description, I would bet it's ML, not more.

Not a bad price to start off at pre-negotiation even it its "only" an ML...given the great color combo / low miles...hopefully in pristine shape too...

The service history lists "Dent wizard" at 24.8K miles and "Tire-wheel" at 26.7K.
