  1. I think you got a great price.....

    reasons: I paid $66,700 for a new LS430 with Ultra Lux and XM sat (no chrome wheels). Sticker as ~$72 plus $1500 retail for XM Sat. I'd think a $10k discount puls chrome wheels is very good. Plus, you still have the full warranty!

    Good Luck with it.

  2. I just bought a 2004 LS430.... max options... sticky price around $72k.. I also added the XM Sat radio option.... retail = $1500. The dealer didn't have the car I wanted, I got lucky and they found one in shipping (still on the boat) and I took delivery 3 weeks after we made the deal

    I know it's a 2004 but I got them down to $66,700 plus taxes, title, etc. I'm very pleased.

    My guess, I could get a 2005 at least splitting the delta, i.e, around $69.5k with the Sat option.... In my $66.7k offer, I gave them $1000 for the radio and $400 for advertise dealer fee.

    Good luck

  3. I have a 2004 LS430 with the air ride and hight adjustment system on it. I think the car is way too high. Has anyone adjusted the car hight sentors on each A-arm? I had a MB E500 with the same problem.... Those that thought it was too high adjusted the senors... Anyone do it on the LOC? See attached picture with new wheels.... the tire dia. is the same, but you can see the height /gap between top of tires and wheel well / fender opening.

    Any help/advise would be good.

    If I do it, I'll let all know.

    thanks Mark

  4. I change oil a lot. For the LS430, I plan to change at 1000 miles and then on the 5k's there after using a high quality synthetic oil. I'm considering Mobil 1, Amsoil and Redline..... Any input from anyone? Based on all my research, I'm leaning towards Amsoil. Also, one other point, why wouldn't Lexus put synthetic in this car? BMW, MB, etc. does and I can't figure why Lexus wouldn't in a high end car like the LS430 :wacko:
