I bought my first LS430 about a month ago. Got an '01 Premium, blue onyx with 110k. I was looking for about 3 months before i got it. Paid $6700 for it because it needed the timing belt service. Had all 4 new tires. The only thing that didn't work on it was the telescopic wheel. It would make a squeeking sound but no movement. It still needs a bushing but it now works thanks to some lithium grease. I already did the timing belt with the Aisin complete kit. I also replaced both radiator hoses, thermostat, and did a complete coolant drain. The only things left are the caster bushings (I have new OEM ones) and a trans service. I absolutely LOVE this car already. I had a '07 IS350 previously which I liked but this car is more "me."
