Sorry if I stretched any rules by posting this as a separate thread.

I'm in the market for a very low mileage LS430, have chosen that over the LS460 for more cabin room, quieter ride, more headroom. I've seen a couple of cars with 25K miles on the east coast, Florida and NY, where rust could be a problem. And a couple of cars with 50K here in Colorado, where rust is not an issue as much. I think they're usually 2003-2005.

Can anyone give me any input on which would be a better choice? Also is age more a concern, or mileage?

I've kept my LS400 for 20 years, still love it, so my cars go a LONG time. I'd love to buy the most recent, lowest mileage 430 that I can find, given I like the colors and upgrades- price is less the concern. Thank you, I appreciate your help. It's difficult letting my LS400 go.

My 04 LS has 190k and no rust. First 4 years where no rust states, last been Wisco. Service history is the most important feature then just newer models have less exposure to elements but these things are pretty darn well engineered for reliability.
