Default WANTED: 04-06 LS430 - Help me out here!

Volkswagen is buying back my Touareg July 5th, so I am searching for a 2004-2006 LS430 - Prefer under 100,000 miles, must be silver, white or gray. Any good leads or anyone considering selling? Located in South Carolina but will travel or ship

Thanks!

Mine has 129k on it. 2006 Silver with black leather. Modern luxury, 18 inch factory wheels, if you think you might be interested in in Kansas City. I can send pics, I have to get a truck to pull my teryx4 around. I did not like pulling the teryx4 with the jeep we have.

Autotrader is one place to find a good LS. Listings are generally better cars. A lot of dealer listings so not cheap.

I saw one posted in FL just the other day. White/Tan interior with right at 100k. If I remember the listing said the Timing Belt had just been changed but when I looked on the Lexus Service records it was not there. Not to say it wasn't done, just not by Lexus.

I also saw a Charcoal gray on in FL the other day with right at 100k as well. Looked really good in the pics but was pricey, $14k.

I'm convinced that one should stick with the southern state cars, and I live in the northeast....yes bad for those selling their used ones up here, but simply do not consider a "clean NY creampuff" or "the best LS430 in Boston!" Stick with FLA, TX, AZ, you know what I mean, I believe it's worth it. Although I actually don't understand how when a car is near the ocean, that's not bad for it. What do I know, some say on the east coast of FLA the car can get salt water blown onto it, less so on the Gulf Coast. That's too detailed imho...I just say FLA....

Agree. I would not buy in the Northeast. Plenty of nice LS's out here but also more expensive. Must be covered or garaged anywhere it's hot or potential problems.

There's a nice 04 ML Sport (approx 115) in the Phoenix area for 10,750. Second owner. I've done quite a few texts w/ him (including a video of car running). Looks and sounds like he's pretty picky about maintenance. Did consider because Sport/Flint Mica. If anyone's in the Phoenix area, should check it out on Craig's.

Try to find one in Florida or Cali, the lowest mileage ones are always from Florida and in great shape. Mine was originally from Malibu and 1 owner, I still have 100k miles on it.
