Hi BPPT, that is great looking car. I just got a 2005 also, same color, last week with 46000 miles. This model is even better than I thought it would be. Have had an LS400 for 13 years and look forward to having the LS430 at least as long. Your wonderful pictures show the car off very well. Just wanted to congratulate you on having a really nice car, and wish you many years of comfortable enjoyable driving.

Good work on the edits! You more or less captured the look I was going for in the first photo. It was intended to be a combination of three exposures but I ended up using just two because I couldn't get the editing right. Your edit brightens the car, which happens to be the exposure I left out.

In December 2006 I bought a late 2004 model. Just sold it last month with 165k miles on it! Best car I've ever owned; just got sick of driving it. I did the timing belt/water pump @ 100k, put tires/brakes on it and replaced the battery. I did a front end suspension bushing that was making noise; otherwise that's it. Car is bulletproof.
Had I bought one with the adaptive radar cruised (like my 460 has now) I doubt I'd have ever sold it.
My advice - get the Vaistech IPOD kit and possibly the NAV override, or make a hybrid NAV DVD.

Love it! I love my pearl white LS430. Yours look just like mine except I have the 17" chrome wheels. I plan to get 18" GS wheels for mine soon though. Nice rolling shot too!
