Thanks - the black is so sharp on the 430. I like all the colors, but black, silver, and white stand out to me the most. I have had silver on my M5 and SRT8 Jeep - but on the LS, the silver looks so ****ing cool.
I had sold my black one about 6 months earlier - and saw a photo of it (sold it to a friend of mine),
and I thought - dam, that car was nice .... I should be blocked from autotrader, because when I go on there, I always end up buying something

Needless to say, got on there - saw the white one had just been listed, they hadn't even cleaned it yet.

One owner, 50k - great carfax, right price ... called them, ask a few questions, had the guy walk out to the car to tell me what he saw ...
They sent the papers overnight - had the car 6 days later -
and same as the black one - when the hauler pulled up with it - love that feeling ... very few cars that look like that 12 years old in MI ...
Got in it, and wow - just like new.

When people say the backseat of a car looks like no one ever sat in it - I don't know if anyone ever sat in the passenger seat of this car - 2funny ... because I am mostly in the car by myself, so that part won't change

Thanks! Yes!! Wilde is great, they are pros. Their inventory moves quick because they buy the right product, and price it fairly - love dealing with dealers like that.

Would you provide the link to the place in Florida that you bought your Lexus? Thanks.
