from what i read so far, if the parking sensors are malfunctioning (in ur case too sensitive) that it couldve been repainted in that area. i would certainly do the paint test by running my fingers along the edges on hood, door, trunk, fenders, etc. checking for roughness. u can also look online for a mobile PPI from what i gathered they run around $100-150. gl

Based on the NADA values.. the price is a steal... priced at average trade in value and the low miles is a bonus for this year...

I think you have a fair deal if the whole package is what you want color interior ect.
i just got an 04 LS430 for 10900 with 177000 miles and paid another 4300.00 to dealer
to have every thing fixed to pass inspection + timing belt water pump, some think i am crazy but car runs great every thing works i happy

I bought a LS 430 premium model 03, with 132xxx and I'm a dealer. It sat on lot for a while. Checked service history from 03, -13. It was serviced its whole life at McGarth in Chicago. Called dealer didnot see in service history it having a timing belt replaced. Or water pump. It had paint issues, had it post-sale inspected by auction. Front drivers door won't unlock with remote. Otherwise got it cheap. Black, on Black. Alloy wheels . Smooth ride. It has snow tires on it . Crunchy ride, replacing ASAP want chrome OEM wheels .
