These keep popping up here, maybe the town should be renamed "Seaddle".
Its Briarwood Pearl, and a Hawaii car (CL without nav) and the seller is asking 19K, about 8K more than other good LS430s right now.

on price, seller is meshuggener....

 

Look at the modified dash and the service info from Hawaii. It's the same car. The other one was around $13k, so someone, likely from this site, bought it and is trying to flip it for about $6k profit, hoping to prey on the 430 worshipers on this site.

Here is the original thread, though the old ad is gone of course:

@lextout ? @aypues ?

 

^ Good catch. meshuggener ... I had to look that one up!

 

The aftermarket screen totally ruins the car IMO, I hate changes to interiors that ruin the factory look since it ages the car horribly.

 

YMMV. I would swap it out for a CarPlay unit. The car is already aged, why not make it useful

 

I completely agree with @Striker223 , no mods on the interior.

If I were going to spend $19k on a 430, I would get this immaculate 06 non-UL with rare leather upgrade package, no mods of any kind and 100k fewer miles on consignment sale:

It certainly is not illegal to make a profit on a car, but I hate the lies. "It's my favorite...." The guy who bought my 03 posted it a year later trying to get another $4k out of it, then he took it down and reposted a few months later, this time trying for $2k profit. He did the same thing, lied about ownership and servicing. Easily verifiable stuff if you do a little homework, but some people don't. It is just frustrating to see. Whatevs. If you don't do your homework, then you have earned any problems.

 

I recently had a 2021 ES loaner car, it wasn't nearly as useful since the audio sucked vs my 430 even with CarPlay. I just use a Bluetooth adaptor and it's mush easier and faster to use than the newer stuff.

Thats to say nothing of the fact the newer ES failed to do literally anything better as a car, slower, worse ride, worse feedback, same mpg, worse materials, horrible door closure sound, etc.......the largest disappointment was the BSM, LKA, and all speed CC.

I was legitimately excited to use them and they just plain failed, the BSM reacts too slowly to weave traffic and has a 4-7 foot long zone that falsely triggers it when you can still move in. LKA doesn't work in faded areas or work zones, and all speed CC doesn't consistently detect cars and the braking events are not smooth as a direct result of this. Very choppy vs manually driving the car and the huge fail was three separate total non-detections of motorcycles. System never saw them

 

3 different wood grain patterns/colours in the interior panels, stereo surround, and steering wheel.
Not an issue normally, but at that price/mileage it needs to be a perfect match and it just isn't.
I also don't get saddle (orange) interiors, but understand that others have different tastes.

 

Great catch on the woods. Wow. Agreed on your 2nd point.

 

That's why I said YMMV I enjoy my Grom VL2.

 

I was looking at this when it was originally posted. It was posted on one of the islands nearby for $6.5k or something low I believe. Seller is looking for a big come up lol...

 

Yeah I don't get why everyone feels the need to have a screen in a car.

I also didn't know they had this brown interior color option in the 430's. Gonna have to keep an eye out for one with this color option.
