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

dam thats a nice hit

Suzy Q 08-11-2006 11:40 AM

ouch. looks like it hurt.
cant wait to see the outcome when its done

familycar 08-11-2006 11:41 AM

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 knob. 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

the kit isn't bad, and the wheels are ok, and its got a front mount so chances are its turbo.

modoman 08-11-2006 04:08 PM
