Default Im the newest member of the Lexus LS430 team (Saddle)

After 3 months of long hard searching i have e acquired this beauty...

Introducing CoCo Butter (lol) My 2004 Lexus LS430 UL w/ Crystal White Exterior and the ever sought after Saddle Interior. This car is in AMAZING condition with only 84 000km (not miles) on it and with the reaction to the 2 Lexus dealerships ive brought it to i do think it might be the only one in canada with Saddle interior

everything has checked out to be ok so far everything has checked out with my mechanic (who drives a 95 LS) and only problems are a few careless scratches (that will prob come out with a high speed polish), 2 stone chips on the hood and a few VERY minor door dings. timing belt was already done at 75 000km.

anything else i should know or look for on this beauty?

sorry for the camara phone pics but they will do #Z10

Looking good from another 04 UL owner.


Do the trans drain and refill. Keep that fluid in good condition. Oh and the Z10... LOL You Canadians and your loyalty to a dieing company.

Looking good from a second 04 UL owner, lol, nice combo. This was my other choice if I didn't get black on black.

thank you all for all the comments and welcoms...when i started searching i wanted black or white exterior with the black wood and black seats quickly realizing it never came in that trim. when i found that saddle interior was an option thats all i wanted...being from canada it seemed like it would be impossible to find one in Canada but low and behold i got lucky and jumped right on this beauty and now i could not be happier. i would rather have the 18" 5 stars in matte finish and powder coat them black which would eventually will become my winter wheels when upgrade to 20's i guess i cant have everything i want lol

OH CANADA...lol...yes im still a bb user and for communication around the world and email you can never touch a bb...also no more knocking bb until you try a BB10 device (q10 or z10)

but back to the UCF...i am making sure to do all necessary maintenance to keep it tip top shape so trans flush is coming...whats the avg cost on a trans drain and refill?
