Beautiful LS400, Im digging that Exterior color. And Ill forever have a soft spot for the Ivory interior. For some reason the Black and Gray interior just always looked cheap or it really shows its age.

The color took a little while to grow on me the dealer had it listed as brown. Until I saw it in person the day I test drove I was skeptical. I'd seen the GS in this color once or twice but never an LS now I absolutely love it because it's different. Most of the LS's I see are black, gold, white, or silver.

I'm not sure what VN is short for but price is based alot upon what area you live in. I got mine from a dealer in Northern Virgina. Here in the Washington Metro Area prices range from $3900 for a 96' Coach Eddition from a private owner to 9475 for a 00' Platinum Eddition at a dealer ship in Richmond. The best thing to do is figure out how much you are comfortable with spending on the purchace. Find one or two you like in that range, test drive them, research the car history i.e. Lexus.com (to view all dealer maintaince records), Autocheck.com, and Carfax. Go with the one that meets your needs and enjoy

Have some 18" LS430 sport wheels on the way should be here tomorrow or Monday. Going with Continental Extreme Contact in 245/45/18 for rolling stock. Sometime in the near future I'll pick up some aftermarket wheels. Maybe some 19" Roderick RW-3s staggered.

Nice. Those will look good. Those are the 18" ls430 wheels?
On my SC430 wheels I found a great deal on tires. They are a Chinese brand called Captial Sport UHP's and they have been a fantastic tire. Wet and dry traction, tread life, etc. I don't think they are as good as Michelin's or other high end brands but I would buy them again for my new 19" RonJon's if they made them. I paid 480 out the door for 245/45 18's. You can order them online too. Anyway, if you are looking to save money on a good tire I am very happy with this brand. I was leery at first but I could find no bad reviews on them when I at the store so I decided to try them out.
