Beautiful car be prepared to invest some money, LS 430 parts Not Cheap! I recently spent over $5000 on my 2005 LS 430, Timing Belt, Struts, New Tires, Front A-Arms and oil. And now it drives like a dream I luv my 2005 LS 430 😘
I have to get my 04 struts, a arms and ball joints done. Approximately $3200 plus two ruined tires😞. Did you use Toyota or cheaper parts? Any recommendations from anyone who really knows? Car has only 109000 miles.
My father used to have a 2004 and he spent well over 20k in maintenance, suspension components, and random issues under the hood (leaks, pulleys, sensors, etc.). These cars are definitely not cheap to maintain, but I recommend using OEM parts as much as you can as they will be worth it in the long run if you plan to keep the car for a long time.
Have you checked to see what a new drivers seat would cost? The center console cover is a little rough too. Beautiful body style on these 2004 - 2006 Lexus.
So far I haven't had much luck finding a driver seat in the same color and in good condition. I might look into getting the seat skin replaced as opposed to replacing the entire seat. The leather skins are around $300.
You're a smart man. Maybe THE best car ever made.
It's a beaut. Always wanted one to compliment my LX.

Clean LS430! I got the same non-nav trim but finished in Blue Onyx Pearl and it drives like a dream. Would love to see a POV drive!
Thanks! Will film a POV when I have some free time on my hands :)

Do you plan to replace the steering wheel? If so include the cost of buying and installing.
I will eventually do this, for now I threw a cover over it. The wheels online are anywhere from $200-400 shipped
