This place is definitely a great resource for these cars. Saved myself time and money because of the help available here.

Congrats on having your 2005 a year. I'm coming up on my one year milestone next month.

You may get some idea of the model change date by looking at your serial number and the manufacturing date.
These can be found on the VIN placard on the driver's door frame.
If you post them here, we can try to help.

Welcome JffGRY706. LS430 is definitely a top notch automobile. The brakes are the easiest to change of any car I've owned!
