Mine was 71,922 and I paid 64,500 without a trade and then negotiated my trade and then I made them up my trade in by 3,000. They also took 800 off my chrome wheels.
I believe there are separate motors for windshield and headlights. Depending on how long you wish to keep the car I would alway go oem on the front end.
I would replace the compressor before shavings get in your system. I would also replace the drier in case there is debris. and then pull a vacuum before replacing the freon.

TSB...that news was relayed to me by my friend's Dealer about his Mercedes 08 s600. It was a $1700 option. They would not install it for him because of that reason. I don't have the distance control and I use the new Cobra xrsr9g with the remote and additional gps module that alerts me to speed and redlight cameras. I download new locations into the remote on my pc from Cobra every month as the cities add them. Very usefull when I go to Houston as the place is full of those traps. It also remembers false alarms from door openers etc.
There are no known major issues on the 430....Mileage seems high so I guess they are Highway miles. The price seems good. I would have a Lexus Dealer go over it so you would have a clearer picture as to previous service history and overall condition plus cost involved in required maintenance which would include timing belt, water pump etc.
Tough one mike, definitely a short somewhere, was your girlfriend *BLEEP*ed when she closed/slammed the door? Joking.. Check your codes and check your alternator connections.
Nice purchase Elsupremo..about 64k here in miles.. depends on you, was the 100k/60k maintenance done? Take care of the car and it will last you a long time. Welcome to the club.
