Smile Introduction to my 02' LS430

Well, I felt like I've never introduced my car to the forums, so here it goes...

No idea how many options are really installed, but it's a base 2002 LS430 with original 2001 nav unit, and also ML factory system. 196K+ Miles on it currently.

Maintenance was kept up really well with the previous owner, and we've kept it in good shape also.

Here's some shots of said car:



On Highway 1. At Midnight. Yeah.



Shots of road trip to Cali



More on the trip

Some random shots in our business' parking lot










So that's the car, and I've finally introduced it to all you enthusiasts, and I think I have joined as well!

Have a good day/night!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. For a 13 + year old car, she's looking pretty good.

The LS 430 is a wonderful car for that road trip down to Ft. Bragg area as I've done it many times in both of our cars.

Have you been happy with your sales/service with Lexus Bellevue so far? I'm having an indy and Yota dealer doing my service so far but if something happens beyond their level of competence it would be nice to know how you've been treated so far.

I would go with Lexus of Seattle in Lynnwood instead. In Bellevue they don't have really good service and don't really want to move around on pricing. At Lexus of Seattle they give you a loaner car immediately and also have pretty good service. We've had the door repaired (Wouldn't open from inside) and it was a good experience.

Thanks for the info. Lynnwood is closer anyway.

Congrats on your new ride. It looks good for an "old timer". My only advice is to find out if the timing belt was replaced twice as you are approaching 200K. Good luck and enjoy.

It appears that in the records it was done twice. Once at 90K and then at 180K. Thanks for the info though.
