Default Purchased an 04 Black on Black LS430

Was looking for an LS430 for a few months and found one locally. It is a two owner black on black 04. It has the navigation and mark levinson sound option and has 135k miles. It drives much nicer than my older IS300. Had to remove a pinstripe and do some light wet-sanding and buffing, but it turned out nice.

Here are a few pictures as well as a quick 0-60 g-tech run:

Agree with, yoitskenn, the 17s (and rest of the car) look good. Congrats on the find!

Thanks guys. I agree, the 17's compliment the car nicely. It will probably need some tint soon.

Wow, this was the car you bought for $5500? What a steal.

Yeah it was a good deal. Needed about $500 in suspension work though to make it run perfect again.

I like the black on black but it really needs constant cleaning and waxing to look nice.
