wut da hay?!?
mojorator/Mike, please keep up upto date w/ your LS400's mods/VIP-'goodies' as that is the exact thing I hope to do in the future.
I'm still very much drawn to the '91-'00 W140 "Brinks Truck" S-class... :tongue:
I totally agree Da Hapa/Christian! For the cost of an equally equipped Mercedes E350 or BMW 530i, the LS430 is the OBVIOUS choice for those seeking luxury, comfort, value, and unrivalled quality.
I gots a question: seeing that the LS430 has MSRP of $57k'ish, what package spec' model you end up getting? I've seen stickers of $58k to $72k!?!

I guess it comes down to how important `PCS`, `MarkLevinson/Voice-DVD`, and `rear cool/heat seats` are...
