My first Lexus w/pics on page 2

Finally made my decision to buy a 2004 LS 430. Its used, but i'm loving it. Now, it's time for some modification(s).

Welcome! More details & pics, please. Don't apologize for it being used. It's the only way you get these fine cars anymore. Clean it up and no one will believe that it is 7 years.old.

Welcome ttran, like caddy said, there no stigma for buying used. You actually show smarts in buying one of the best used car out there. Let the mod begin

Great! Wait till he gets bored with them or wants another car and buy them cheap. (assuming they will clear the LS brakes)

Congrats on the purchase! Buying used is the smart way to go. Think about it this way, for the money you could wither have a dismal econobox or a top-notch flagship luxo sedan...you definitely went the right way!
