Brand new user here, just wanted to post some pics of the '05 LS430 in Blue Onyx Pearl that I just purchased. Really impressed with it so far, and it's actually my first car ever. She has 148k miles on her, but was the only saddle interior I could find for sale. The inside is pretty clean, scratched bezel under the nav unit and a cracked wood panel above the glovebox. I'm doing some research now, probably going to end up painting the bezel, and I'm not sure what can be done about the wood panel, as the dealership here quoted me $1,400 just for that one piece of trim haha. Started polishing out all the small scratches on the front end of the car, looking into finding a superb set of 18" tires. Rims are starting to show some delaminating. I'll get some better pics up soon.
Very nice LS430! Is it a UL? I only seen black/saddle and white/saddle, I didn't know they have blue/saddle.
Rich what is your suspension set up? Fitment looks perfect for a daily driver. How's the ride quality and tire wear? Also are those Celsior visors?
I'm on BC racing coilovers, ride quality is as good as can get on these horrible city roads. Tire wear is good so far but, I took the wheels off for the winter months... As for the visors, they're the inexpensive AVS slim visors, costs around $140 5 years ago.

After driving and owing almost every heavy metal american car since 1970, I am flabbergasted I've been this long on owning a big Lexus.
Time will tell, but it is beating every caddy and lincoln, and M-B too.
I can't believe I haven't posted mine yet. Bought in November of 2015 at a Lexus dealer it is a 2005 LS430 with 108,000 on the odometer. 18" rims that came as an option when the car was new.
Really nice LX. Ours is dark green metallic, almost black. Still happy we chose it over the grey or cream....
Biggest issue I'm having is the grey wood trim. Haven't seen it yet in any other car. Would be nice to trim out the center stack...
