Hi friends, I'm new here.
I'm a 62 year old public school teacher who wants a dream car and realizes I can only get it used, which is absolutely fine if it's one of these in good shape.
I got the idea that it has to be an Ultra Luxury package, but they're not as plentiful.
So it's possible that a lower options package could work just as well for me but I can't seem to find a place that has the information, a good side by side comparison, explanation of the packages.
So could anyone steer me there or explain a bit about the main differences on the next package down from ULTRA? Thanks so much for any help here you can offer. Also if it makes a big difference to go up to the next model year 2007? thanks, pete

Yeah. It's still odd that non-UL owners are the only ones who complain about the UL's reliability. Makes me laugh. The air shocks are quite expensive new this is true but you can always source good used ones like I have even though I have no issues. Or convert the suspension. Everything else is golden about the UL and is a non issue. You will be hard pressed finding UL owners complaining about reliability. If you want all the great options that come with a UL don't be afraid of the naysayers who don't actually own the model. They are fantastic and the additional features are well worth it and make the 430 an amazing car.

UL great
I had a 2003 UL with 110000 miles and everything worked perfect. If some people would not buy one because they worry about the cost of fixing problems then don.t fix them and pretend you do not have the UL pkg. I did not care about all the things the rear seats did or the curtains. I never sat in the back. I assume most owners don,t. The only thing i loved was the .c.c. because i could ride highways for 100 miles without using the gas or brake. The only thing i miss alot. Just Saying
