Default New guy on the block

Bought my first Lexus this weekend after a 2 year search. 05 LS430 with 95K. Best 7 hour drive home that I've ever had in a car. Only complaint is the cup holder won't open. I don't allow beverages in the front seat to start with so I guess it doesn't matter. Been a lurker on here for several years and finally joined.

Hello !

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the car.

Was going to pick up a 2004 LS430 in Obsidian for the old man before he decided on a different car.

The ride is smooth as silk, enjoy it !

Welcome. If you search you can likely find some posts on the console assembly or ashtray which will have steps to take apart console or the transmission selector deck which you likely need to do to expose enough of the cup-holder mech to see what is jamming it up.

I think you're in the wrong forum.
