Greetings to all! Im new to the Lexus family. I bought a 1 owner 2004 LS 430. White w/Parchment int., all options but not a UL, 64k. VERY well taked care of. I've been searching for awhile & I finally found the EXACT color combo, miles & price I was looking for. I found it on online after 9 months of searching (the prices vary so much online, wow!) Anyway I live in Michigan & the car was in Annapolis, MD., so I flew out & drove back (still saved by my guess,about $3-5k for a comparable one in MI.) I really enjoy all the info posted in this forum & Ive used some info already. Enjoy the day & enjoy the rode!

 

Welcome Toyo -

Congrats on the new ride and I'm sure you'll love it as much as the majority of us in here enjoy ours. I've owned LS's since '93 and have enjoyed every one of these incredible mechanical wonders. Don't forget to post a pic or two.

Btw, 64k is a lot to pay for an '04 but think you'll find it worth the price. (Sorry, just couldn't pass that one up )

 

WELCOME! sounds like a nice ride man, love the pearl white too. you know we need to see some pics! congrats on the perchase

 

I think 64k refers to the miles. Congratulations on your new ride

 

congrats man, i live in annapolis and have an 05 UL, i would have checked it out for you if you needed but obviously its too late for that. that is an awesome color combo on an awesome car,, that was my second color choice but coming from a white gs400 i wanted to try out another color, now i sort of want a white one again

so what dealership was it at?? they had a silver UL 04-06 with like 68k miles at a hyundai dealership here in annapolis for a couple weeks for like 26k$ but it doesn't look like its there anymore.

 

Congrats on the find? What part of Michigan do you live in? I'm in Livingston County and work in Lansing. CarGuy89 is in the AA area and goes to school at MSU.

 

Welcome man! As Caddy said I am in AA, but spend a good amount of time in East Lansing for school. Both me and Caddy have gray 430s (in case you happen to see one). I will be looking out for a clean white one. Enjoy the ride and post up those pics!

 

What did you pay is you don't mind me asking. Also what color did you get?

 

I got it from Mercedes of Annapolis. Actually that would have been nice to have a pair of eyes there to take a look. I had Carchex inspect the car, did the carfax and the salesman took plenty of pics. The last three cars (2002 DTS sold ,1970 Cutlass CV & 2002 Silverado), I've purchased online thru ebay/craigslist. The car was $19.9 & Im very pleased with it so far. I'll be posting pictures soon. By the way I live in Southfield & Im familiar with AA as both my younger sisters graduated from UM but my brother went to MSU (dad is a UM fan, brother is an outcast, LOL!) P.S.> Im AIR Force

 

^ ^ ^ i'm ex-force my self, did my 6 years (3c0x1), got the gortex jacket and peaced out. they did give me some excellent computer training and i got to live in okinawa japan for a few years where i met my wife and was introduced to the vip scene, so it wasn't all bad

 

@ 2004 TOYO and Sojah:
Thanks for keeping this country safe! We (as citizens) really appreciate all your efforts. Air force sounds awesome, I have always admired those fighter jets. What's it like going 4-5x the speed of sound? Do/did you guys mainly spend time in the US or in other countries?

 

i might as well have been in the chair force but i know there are some cool jobs out there. i spent my first year in training in TX and MS, then 2 years in japan and 3 years in colorado. i prefer japan over colorado and i do mean offense.

this 1 min youtube video pretty much sums up my air force career

LMAO @ Bronson now that was funny!!

 

Lol! Well it seems more exciting than my avg day sadly (yes, I've handled urine samples when I volunteered at the hospital). On the bright side it did keep you safe right?
