Default A needle in a haystack!!

I cannot seem to find my ls430!! I am getting impatient.I cannot believe that it's so hard to find a blk/blk 01' ul.I'm so fustrated, i am looking for a southern car, to avoid some issues.

I've been there. It took me almost a year to find my 01 blk on blk ul with only 43,000 miles. I hope everything works out and you get what you really want.

Hang in there and the ideal car will show up. I guess it's just a matter of chance because when I was looking for my LS I seemed to find several black/black cars here in Florida in good condition and at good prices. I was told that they were some of the lowest priced because MOST people don't want black/black in Florida.

Wait for the "snow birds" to head north - they should be more plentiful then.

Default LS430 - Blk/Blk

I searched here in Texas and found three very quickly.
Go to www.cars.com
search for LS430
search for 200 miles from 76018
I found three and one is at Grapevine Lexus. A dealer that I really like.

I agree. It took me 1 1/2 years to look for a GS but I found a 01 LS430 and I absolutely love it.

Too many miles for you? Car is from TN. I almost got it but went to TX for mine. If you go Texas, let me know, I would NOT recommend the dealer I purchased from!!
