Was this a dealer warranty as cars that old or with that many miles are not eligible for the Lexus CPO program? I believe there were some vehicles that were sold under a previous Lexus CPO program where the warranty was transferable to a subsequent owner if the car was re-sold within the CPO time and mileage period (but you said it was a one-owner car).

The car came with a crapy warranty at first, 6 months, 6,000 miles or something like that. I told them if i was paying it in full i wanted a better deal... so they gave me a better deal.

Great price. If the timing belt/water pump have been done and there are no early 04 transmission issues, you are the hero of the forum! Congrats.

haha well lets hope so. Shes at 106K now with no problems, runs like it did the day i got her. ive been meaning to regester the vin but i havnt gotten to it. prob should sooner then later. didnt hear anything about the trany till u brought it up... are they usually an issue? being an eclipse owner im sure it cant be as bad of an issue as crank walk lol. or atleast i hope haha. ehh worse comes to worse ill drop a 2JZ into it and call it a day.

Generally, it is the early 04s that have any tranny issue.

I just bought today a 2006 Nav + ML system with 90K for $21.7K. Car has been in TX it's whole life and serviced at the local stealership. Pics to follow. Interior is pristine; exterior I score 8.5 out of 10.

Bought a Pearl white 04 LS 430 with 35k miles, serviced at Lexus for 23,500.

Color however will take a little getting used to.

The deal though was hard to beat at 35k miles

White happens to be my favorite color. I purchased my 01 LS430 last May with 3X your mileage (98,000) at 1/2 the price ($11,800). If I had your car, it would last longer than I will be alive. Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks man....i come from a school of nothing but driving old cars based on preference.

This however being newest for me is going to take some time to get used to,but the decision to purchase this car was based on longevity factor

I also just happen to work for a Toyota dealership as well so i have access to all i need

Nice catch. Sewell does an excellent job prepping and reconditioning the used LS430s it sells. They usually only keep the nice ones to sell on their lot. They ship the dogs to the Sewell Cadillac used car lot.

Jabberwock

great catch - its a sports edition model (badge on front side quarter panel) which is nice.

Nice car. Since you work at a Toyota dealership you shouldn't have any problem replacing the gold emblem(s). However, if gold trim is your thing, go for it.

@ JABBERWOCK: Not quite sure how much of a difference the Sports Model really is yet...still learning about the car

@ CADDYOWNER : Gold trim is nowhere close to being my thing, ive only had the car for two days.Not quite ready to de-virginize it just yet LOL
