I don't know if a 2005 would float your boat since you seem intent upon '06, but just doing a quick search, the lowest mileage reasonably priced post-facelift LS430 currently out there is a silver one in FL. The link is https://www.lee-cars.com/pre-owned-cars?q=ls430. Maybe that's a shady used-car dealer; no idea. But at 68k miles, $12k sure seems like a great price. It's just a Premium -- so no nav or anything. But that's exactly what I have ('05 Premium in Flint Mica/Black) and I'll be doggoned if that thing doesn't run perfectly! You might want to give them a call and see what's up.

no, the tranny is fine. There was a TSB to reprogram the shift points but it’s a software fix and very easy to have done. My transmission is solid at 223k miles and I’ve only had it drained and filled twice (140k and 180k), then a full flush at 220k. I would not exclude all 2004’s over something so insignificant.

I live near Olympia and will keep an eye out for a 2006. I have a 2003 with Navigation , that keeps me pretty satisfied. I just bought a 2012 es350 with Touring Pkg for my wife. It is white with the saddle tan leather with Naivigation and backup camera and only had 57,000 miles. Best of luck with your search.

Yeah I see what you're saying. Couldn't tell if it was the screen on my phone or what. Seems strange that a car with such low mileage would be that tatty.

I have been searching for a solid non-abused 2006 LS 430 for a few months now. They seem to sell pretty quick if they are solid and from private sellers. Most of the LS' from dealers have been in at least one accident. I am patiently waiting for a solid 2006 LS 430 to pop up on the west coast. There are very few available in the PNW probably due to weather.
If any of you have some advise for finding a good 2006 LS 430, let me know.
