Hello every I am new to the forum, car collector looking for a LS430, ideally 2006, with close to delivery mileage "in the wrapper" but under 5000 mileage will do. Willing to pay a finders fee for anyone who can help. Ready to pay up for a museum piece!

Thank you

no interest in paying dealers who scalp them off the owners I like to give my money straight to the source

 

Just call up Toyota and tell them to build you a new one, or buy one from their museum in Japan! Probably have a better shot at getting one with less than 5000 miles at 18 years old that way.

 

you’d be suprised what people have in the garage I’m posting here to network,

 

Not saying those cars don't exist, but they are hard to find private party and, and the chances are good they have lot rot to the Nth degree.

I bought a 91 Daihatsu Rocky in 2017 with only 17,000 miles on it, and although it was beautiful on the inside and outs, it needed a TON of work to undo the years of sitting on without proper maintenance due to aging components.

Nothing like having to tear the entire dashboard out of a car in pristine condition to have to replace a bad heater core!

I do wish you the best of luck though.

 

Thanks, I would love to see a pic of the rocky. those where cool....

 

You missed one on 09/13/23 at Bring A Trailer. 2006 LS430 UL with 4,200 miles. $55,500 They are out there but the word is out so it will require reaching deep. Good luck.

 

Sure thing! Not many people had heard of those bad boys. I had it for roughly 5 years. Fun little car to own, but it was UNGODLY slow and tracking the parts down to fix it up involved using translator software to talk to people in Indonesia. The heater core alone took me almost 2 years to track down. Was able ot sell it to the next guy, who had one that got totaled when they were new, and had been looking for one on and off for years.

 

Wow really nice. Too bad you weren’t looking to selll now I’d buy it!
