Default New LS

Well, I finally made the jump to an LS. I just got an '04 LS430 with the Modern Luxury package (ML, Nav), along with the Smart Access feature. My first Lexus was an ES300, followed by a GS400, and then a GS430. Have loved them all. I was really interested in the new Acura RL, but don't wan't to give up the Lexus service. I'll be getting it in mid-June. Can't wait! Looks like I'm going to need to change my user name for this forum, though.

I too got a new 2004 LS430 after a 3 year hiatus from Lexus (in a XK8 JAG).
Before that I had a 99' GS400 - and before and LS400
Mine is black/black with Modern Luxury, NAV and Smart Access

It is a fabulous machine...

Mine is flint mica with an ash interior. I wanted the sport package, but there were none available in the forseeable future at my dealership.

GS Doug,

Let me know if you figure out how to change your ID without having to re-register please. I sent a note asking that question to the moderators as I need to change mine too.

Congrats for the new LS Everytime I sat in the 04 LS, I was tempted to trade my SC for it, it's such a nice car. But I guess I'll have to wait for the next LS in 07.

Default Congratulations GS Doug!

Congratulations GS Doug! It's nice to see how you went through the various models. That is brand loyalty at work!!!

On another thread that Bitkahuna started he mentioned some Consumer Reports survey about the reliability of the LS. The survey said that a 10 year old LS was more reliable than a 6 month old BMW 7-series. That is simply astounding!
