Default My New 430 ultra

What up CL... Ive been reading here for about a month now and joined since I bought my lexus. It's a 2004 ul, brairwood pearl on ecro. I bought it this past tuesday for 23K out the door from a Lexus dealership. I was told the previous owner was an old guy who took really good care of it and kept all the services done on time. It has 70K miles on it but in great condition. As requested I took some pics today after washing it.













Edit: Forgot to add that the original owner had this car custom ordered and waited 5months for it.

Thanks. The color made my decision easy at the dealership. They had black, silver, and white but this one stood out the most to me since it was different.

EXCELLENT !!! Great deal too... $23K out the door for "low mile" LS430 in Ultra is great. As for "old guy" if 40 is old, then I'm old too. I doubt it was an old guy. They don't drive 70K in 4+ years.

Very nice! Looks clean from the pictures. I would have bought one with that color combo if one was available when I was looking. But I was also looking for a low mileage one (35K or less miles). Good find though and congrats!

I think the last gen Ls430 was the greatest Lexus ever.

I love the LS.


Just curious. What are the three black buttons next to the rear passenger exit door handle for?

Im not sure what they are for, Im learning new stuff everyday. Im sure someone else here knows though.



Thanks to all....I have big plans for this car. Going to start off with tints and the SL2vi hookup for my ipod.

Planning on having some $$ for rims and the datasystem controller by summer.

I think it was recline and massage, but can't remember what the third button was for. I don't have the UL... only CL trim...

Those buttons (1-3) are the memory settings for different passengers.

think he meant the rear doors, but they are for memory too. Here is link to forum:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...tra-ls430.html

I thought they were for massage and recline, but not correct.

S - Set
M - Memory position
C - Cancel memory position

thought M was for massage...
