Default Time to say goodbye to the LS430

Well, I've had the car for nearly 4 years now and it's been a wonderful and reliable friend. My wife and I want to do a lot more traveling and I wanted to mitigate my risk a bit so I bought a new Accord EX.

The LS430 gave me nearly 60K miles of trouble free driving, but it's time to let her go to another home. It's been fun here on the site and learning and maintaining the vehicle with all your help (and my great ex-Lexus indy mechanic). So, thanks to all for the great help. These are really wonderful cars but I'm making the change.

Here's a link to the ad in the classified section:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...-11-000-a.html if anyone is interested. I have it up for $11K ($12K on CL) but I'll probably settle from something around $10K.

Good luck to all of you; this is a very helpful forum with some great moderators. Caddyowner and Alexusanga seem to put in a lot of time to help others. Sorry if I left others out.

Your car looks great! You should not have much trouble selling it with some negotiating. Great color and being an Arizona car helps alot as well. Sorry to see you go and good luck with your new car! There are a number of Honda forums out there. i am a member of one for my mom's 13 year old Accord. Enjoy!

Your LS looks great - really nice color with the chrome wheels. Should sell fairly fast. Hope you enjoy the new Accord - Honda makes some excellent products.

Sorry to hear you're leaving, but once you get tired of the Accord and want to come back to the family, you're always welcome.

Thanks for hanging with us. The Accord should serve you well. You'll probably always smile when you see a LS430 on the road - I know I do even though I'm loving my new GS.

Sold today, $10K, and I miss it already, but I'll get over it. A guy flew in from San Diego and drove it back. Thanks again for all the help.

Wow... that was quick and someone will be enjoying it soon. I've been in the new Accord and it's nice but really
it's no Lexus and you'll have withdrawal for a little while.
