Vehicle description
This low mileage (LOW MILES MEANS EVERYTHING) and extremely well maintained 2001 LS430 is loaded with a host of standard luxury and performance features including the sought after Sport Suspension which consisted of upgraded shocks, springs and sway bars for better handling. The vehicle has 101,311 car fax documented miles and spent its entire life in Florida with only 3 prior owners. It is 100% rust free. This car has been reconditioned from front to back. It would have cost you at least $4000 for the same exact services - see list below.
THIS WONT LAST - Vehicle being Sold locally. I reserve the right to end auction early.
Previous owner"s hobby was to buy a car and drive it while he would make any repairs it might need including paint and mechanical repairs. He is a retired ex race car mechanic and has a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering and an associates degree in internal combustion engines. My wife came to the conclusion that she wanted an SUV rather than a luxury sedan.
The LS430"s original paint, on the trunk, roof and bumpers, was faded so the car was repainted using Plasti Dip in a very cool blue called "Dude Blue". Plasti Dip is a rubber type peel-able automotive paint designed to last over 3 years. Later, you can peel it off, repaint the same color or even change the color if you like. Plasti Dip is most often used on newer cars to protect the paint and change the color. Google "Dip Your Car" to see more about this amazing paint.
The entire interior is super clean having been totally disinfected with a mild bleach solution. The carpets were professionally cleaned and treated with Scotch Guard, New Lexus floor mats replaced the original ones. The interior was never smoked in and has zero odor. The seats arm rest were professionally cleaned, dyed where needed and treated with leather conditioner. The seats and armrest show the typical patina of fine wear lines in the leather (see images). Even the seat belts were cleaned and look nearly new. The dash board has some bubbling which was subject to a recall by the factory but I was told this car was not included in recalled cars based on the date when this car was manufactured. I have installed a cover on the dash - see images. Cabin filters are new. All four windows have new ceramic light yellow / green tints. Color is barely visible. Estimated cost over $300. Keeps heat away like no other tint. Special order. Sport edition emblems are back on the front exteriors, by the front doors. Not seen in photos.
The wood steering wheel shows some fine crazing in the wood and the leather grip section shows a little discoloration. The headliner was professionally cleaned and is perfect. Both outside mirrors are in good shape and the "fold in" feature (folds mirrors back when car is turned off) works as new on the right side mirror but does not work on the left side mirror (motor runs but mirror does not fold in).

Raise the hood and you"ll find a quiet smooth running 4.3-liter V8 DOHC engine that makes almost 300 horsepower. The car accelerates to 80 miles an hour or more with zero hesitation. It tracks perfectly straight at speed. There are no check engine lights or fault codes. The timing belt and related components were recently serviced along with replacing the radiator and hoses. This service alone would cost close to $2000 at a Lexus dealer.
The oil and filter were recently replaced with full synthetic oil and a OEM quality filter. The engine compartment was professionally cleaned and detailed. The air conditioning was recently serviced and blows 35.7 degrees cold air on an 82 degree day. (see image). The belts and hoses are new. Air filter was changed.
All fluids have been checked and topped off full. The car needs nothing but a new owner that appreciates how nice this example is and that wants to drive a car that looks and runs like it is brand new for less than $6000. It can easily last another 100,000 miles with routine maintenance.
The front and rear brake pads were just replaced with Wagner Thermo Quiet pads after r esurfacing all 4 rotors. The Lexus Chrome Wheels were originally a $2500 option and they are in very good shape. Spare is chrome also. The calipers are super clean and painted with yellow caliper paint. The exhaust is in good condition (quiet and rust free),
The tires are in decent shape, the front ones have about 5000 miles and the rears are about 50% worn. They should last at least 20,000 miles. The car was recently aligned. The underside of the vehicle does not have any rust whatsoever.
All fluids have been checked and topped off full. The car needs nothing but a new owner that appreciates how flawless this example is and that wants to drive a car that looks and runs like it is brand new for under $7000. It can easily last another 100,000 miles with routine maintenance.
