She's a 2006 with 115k miles, Flint Mica over Ash interior. One owner with full service records and has definitely been taken care of. Will be getting tint installed tomorrow, installing a BT45-TOY this weekend (not having bluetooth is unbearable) and would like to add a back up camera as well.
Nice LS enjoy it!

Have had this girl for just under a month. 2005, 120K, Flint Mica and Ash Modern Lux Pkg with a 9.5 out of 10 interior. BT45-TOY already installed. Yakima rack and bike carriers installed. Rear sunshade repaired, center console repaired, ash tray repaired. Installed missing trunk light housings. Interior, LP, and high beam swapped to LED. Passenger front window and driver side mirror are starting to act up so thats next on the list.

sorry for the late response, the tire size is 245/35/20 (F) and 255/35/20 (R). I didn’t want too much stretch but if you feel comfortable with more stretch I would definitely recommend it. I’ve cut all 4 fenders and pulled them, also had to bend over the pinch weld on both fronts. My ride height is -4 camber all around, I still need to pull more so I can air out completely, right now the fender barely touches the rim while airing out. Let me know if you have any other questions!

The car is filthy, but I couldn't pass up the view.

Cool My 2006 LS430 CL Mercury Metallic/black interior


2006 LS430 CL aired out on Airlift 3P

Decided not to go with a hidden trunk setup after getting 2 flats in one night mid installation.

Talking My New Baby! Low Milage 2005 LS430

2005 LS430 Modern Luxury: I Just purchased it used with 57,000 miles from the original owner, I'm in love! The only thing wrong with her is some scratches on the hood and trunk due to boxes being left on top in the garage; and a non-working telescoping steering wheel motor (looked into the fix and may do it one day).

Even the mechanic says she looks like she just drove off the showroom floor.
