Default 2003 ls430
Hey guys I have a really good price on a 2003 Ls430, but it has 160,000 miles. Is this a waste of time or headache. Or if I treat her right will I get another 100k out of her.

As far as I'm concerned, that's low mileage. I've got 244k on mine right now and haven't had any major issues. Just keep up with maintenance and it'll last a long time.

Research the maintenance history on the car via the Lexus Owner's website. You can input the VIN and see the maintenance that has been accomplished. What's the asking price?

Oh, and welcome to the club!

The drive train on these cars are indestructible, only needed repairs in the future are the consumables (tires,brakes oil, bushings) which is a given with cars over 100k.

You'd have to create a log in ID, but once that's set up, you can input any Lexus VIN, set it your list of cars, and view the maintenance history.

I believe there have been a few threads posted about this site.

Thanks for the input. I will definitely be checking all the important areas. I Just restored the headlights/fog-lights and added yellow leds. Other than that I like my cars stock.

Nice, looks very similar to my 430. What Glock you running in it? I had a 32c with a TLR1-HL in my upper glove box, moved it to the 460 yesterday
