He said it's CL. How can you tell it is a UL?

Default Not UL

It's not an UL, it's missing a few buttons ... see...

But to us LS430 owners... all of them are "Ultra" luxury...

...speaking of. what did you do with the old LS?

first of all, this is not UL, this is CL or ML, because I used to have UL and I know what is the difference.

second, YES, this car has a radar cruise, and I have used it and works perfectly like on UL.

third, YES there is radar cruise in CL or ML not just the UL has it. how did I know....!! believe me my friend 2 full months of search on LS, you will know more than a sales on Lexus dealer.

finally, the old one is still parked in front my home. I am waiting the title to be received so I can sell it to damagedcars.com

YES you are 100% right. there is no extra buttons like the UL has.

I like this one more than the UL because I feel the UL is more sensitive than the others. Plus the UL has the air suspension which is such a headache.

Unless they cheaped out later on (04-06), the headlamp washers only came on CL and UL. The ML did not have it. One of the reasons I upgraded to a CL and in one year, I've used it twice...

I don't think the ML has Laser Cruise control.

It is a CL, can't believe you missed that

No suspension buttons and no side shades.

It is a CL because it got headlight washers and laser cruise.
