Hey guys I bought the car today, looks amazing in person. He had stacks and stacks of papers of history services. His dad was the owner since brand new (paid 70k+) and everything checked out perfectly!

I saw looked into both cars listed above and one had a damage reported and the other seller changed his mind on selling.

But im finally an owner of an ls 430 custom luxury! This car rocks!


thanks for all the tips and help

Very nice. It will spoil you and you will find yourself asking how you ever lived without such a fine automobile.

Maybe I missed it and I'm too lazy to reread. Mind sharing what you paid?

From an S2000? Different universe! Maybe 2x the weight? 5' longer? I've driven many different kinds of cars (and trucks). The LS really is incredibly comfortable. Enjoy.

Tires can make a big difference in how good your car will ride. If you are swapping out tires, I recommend the Michelin Premier or Pirelli Cinturato All-Season Plus. If you go with the Pirelli, make sure it's the All-Season Plus. They make a regular Cinturato and an All-Seaon Cinturato withou the Plus. Make sure you get the Plus. And if you are using Discount Tire, they have a Pirelli Strada that they will tell you is the same tire as the All-Seaons Plus, but it isn't.

I have to replace the front 2 this week and I need to replace the back 2 maybe in another year. Should I just replace all 4 now? Thank you for the tips on which tires to get!! That helps a lot!

edit: Also, Do I need all season tires if I live in Arizona? we don't get rain that often over here
