Another hello from San Diego
Hi all,
i am not really new to this forum, however i just got a 2004 LS430 last weekend.
i used to have 2006 GS300, and liked it a lot. however, after about 1 year, i sold the GS to buy a tacoma, since its more practical.
ever since i bought the tacoma, i could not stop thinking to get another lexus. it drives so nice and smooth. i mean, no matter how much you put on your tacoma, you cant even compare the driving experience of that 2 cars.
so, i've been looking for LS430 in about 10 months now, and i pretty much get what i want.
i originally wants to get the black with tan interior, no luck finding it, so i settled with black with black interior. after thinking and looking at the car, black interior is really nice.
i think i like it more than the tan interior.
black interior bringing the sporty elegant into the car (which i like since i'm only 30) while the tan bringing luxury in my opinion.
i also wants to get at least the navigation, so i can have backup camera and mark levinson audio. but after thinking about it, base model is cheaper and i already have an high-end audio to install, so i decided to go base model.
the car has 150,000 miles, and what's worse is that the owner has not change the timing belt yet. i just bought all 90K oem parts from the forum and will install it before i will turn on the car.
oh well, i cant wait until these oem parts installed so i can start enjoying my dream car.
thanks
Mik

I doubt that you will find an actual base model. I have never seen one advertised and I think it is likely that they were not imported into the US market. However, the next step up (which has the "premium" package) is quite common.
