I've owned ls400s since high school. I am a die hard fan and always will be I swear by these cars they are the most reliable when maintained properly. I was involved in a hit and run in my 96 that devastated me, I'm actually still not over it, State Farm took care of me though, very well! My 430 came with 58,000 miles for 14k. Plan on keeping it stock. Maybe some 18s down the line.

Congrats on the purchase. It's a shame your LS400 got hit though.

Everything happens for good.
Insurance company took care of you plus you got a great deal on LS430.
It is all good in the end.

'LS4EVER85', I like your photographs. In particular, pictures 2&3. They show the front quarter view, and are extraordinary. Never knew an LS430 could look this good!

Clever background reflections enhance longitudinal lines, the light and lens highlight bonnet, wing and headlight, and your car is in The best shape revealing color (silver).

Almost a tactile viewing experience...

Thanks everybody for the love, I just changed the oil and tires rotated. Michelin Primacy mxv4 tires are truly the best tire I've ever driven on as compared to the bridge stones or good year eagle series. Planning on changing my courtesy mirror lights and drivers plate lights to Led maybe even the reverse lights. Gotta start small right here is a rain shot to all aspiring owners!!
