Default Finally got pic of my LS 430 to upload!.

Pic of my 2004 LS 430 finally uploaded! Paid 18k out the door with only 67k miles and is an ML edition. Not bad for a CA car sale.

I like the car, but man, that driveway is SICK! If I had a dream driveway, that is it.

The car was not an easy find. Specially in Los Angeles, CA area. I had to replace all tires and rims and do a front brake job. I found those rims on Craiglist for 500 bucks, not bad. The car also has a faulty passenger mirror fold prob that I never use anyways. I did a lot of looking before buying and this is the only way to get a deal that low with low miles in LA County. Sometimes with just a little work you can fix up a low mileage car and get a great deal. Has clean car fax and had the car inspected head to toe. I sold my 2005 Chrysler 300c to aquire this beautiful machine. I'm pretty sure I made the right choice.

So yes, actually I paid an extra $1400 total for the rims, tires, and brake job. Still not bad for a low miles LS. If you live in Cali you know how difficult it is to find a good deal with the right options, color, and trim you like.

I feel you on this... but I got really lucky I guess because I found my car within 1 week of searching and I think it was a great deal.

I found the exact color combo I wanted (flint mica with black int). My car is actually over at Lextech right now as we speak getting an oil change and full inspection so hopefully everything checks out and there are no immediate issues although I suspect the Timing belt may need to be replaced as it just hit 100k miles.

Also, It need new tires as well. Either way, I got it for under $14k and it's in pretty damn good condition inside/out. Now I'm just praying that there are no major issues based on the inspection.

14k sounds like and awesome deal. I think you did good.
