2004 LS430
106K miles
Black Onyx on Black
Great shape except for slight fade in paint, and needed a more thorough detail. With those two issues addressed with a full cut and buff, and hours in the interior with my automotive OCD, it's near perfect.
$10,400

Base models are quite scarce. You found a rare one.

2002 LS 430
103.000 miles
Ultra package
Chrome wheels 17" in perfect condition
Blue Onyx Pearl
Ecru interior
$12,199 plus tax
7/15/14
Exterior condition 8.5/10 (a few light scratches, 2 small parking lot dings)
Interior condition 9/10 (driver's armrest, middle console, and driver's bolster seat areas dyed)
CPO service just completed 7/2/14, but vehicle was not sold as CPO due to mileage
Transmission service, brake coolant, air cabin filters, oil change done 7/2/14
Brand new Michelin Primacy A/S tires installed 7/2/14
New brakes and rotors all 4 installed Nov. '13
Timing belt and water pump installed 7/14/14 before taking delivery from Lexus dealer
1 owner, all records available, Carfax had it at +$1540.00 over
3 key/fobs with valet
original window sticker of $70,000+
Bought at Jim White Lexus of Toledo, Ohio
Found car through Cars.com
Came with full tank of gas
Looked off/on for 6 months to replace '00 LS430 with 260,000 miles

things I noticed since purchase:
blown speaker in rear (called dealer and they WILL replace at no charge!}

Very impressed with the condition as this was my main concern. Mileage was not an issue as the one I replaced had 250,000+. Exterior paint is flawless, headlights clear with no hazing. After
owning multiple Lexus vehicles over the past 10 years I have come to expect reliability and the
feeling that I will arrive at my destination on time. The car is also averaging about 27 mpg on the
highway at 72-75 mph.

2004 Lexus SC 430

Black Onyx, Saddle interior
94,000

So far the car is running like a dream except what I said in another thread, the cover behind the back seat is not working properly so I do have issues when I want to put the top down or bring it back up ( was not doing that till recently)

Only cosmetic issue is the leather on the driver seat is a little worn...all the other seats are looking great!!

How long did I search (2 months)

I paid $16,000
