picked up a Lexus LS430
just got it today on impact auctions in stoufville. ill post pics when it ships in tommorow. Its a 2002 Lexus LS430 , back hit.. so i gotta replace quarter panel and trunk lid. I got it for $9700 CDN. On our autotrader (used car magazine) the cheapest LS430 2002 is $33000 CDN.

It'll cost around 3-4 grand to fix up... not bad huh?
i might swap 2006 LS430 tail lights, theres a small difference from 02-06 in the tails

not bad. doesnt look like its going to need to much work. one of my neighbors goes to auctions all the time he got another neighbor a 02 gs430 for $15k with 40k on it. it was a flood salvage and the only things worng with it were the electric driver seat didnt work and the a/c blower motor didnt work and was missing the auto shift ****. otherwise the car was in pristine condition. this was almost 2yrs ago now and the car still runs great. in fact i think once the car has been on the road for 2yrs it can be sold with a clean title
