Taken The Plunge

[soundchaser100]

I have finally taken the plunge and bought an LS430. I've had my LS400 for 10 years now, easily the best car I have ever owned and I will be keeping it. My wife would never let me sell it anyway. The new car is really lovely, only 112,000 miles 51 Reg, Mystic Gold. It has a few niggles but nothing I can't fix myself. If the air suspension acts up at all I will fit coilovers . Also I have bought a Auto Transmission cooler to fit to the front so I don't get the dreaded " water in the auto box " problem. That pretty much covers any likely troubles it will give me, but I don't expect it to be as near flawless as the LS400. I'll post a picture of it when I've finished claying and buffer polishing the paint.

Be interested in your comparison of the two cars as you get to know the 430.

Tip (if you haven't already): put the transmission in power mode and leave it there.

It then becomes predictable, and with your foot as the instant gear lever.

After a while there will be two brains in perfect harmony. Bliss :)

I won't wax lyrical about having coilovers as well, but those and that vvt v-8 ____________

World's best 4 seater?
