Ok /o/, I need help deciding.
I'm currently looking at two LS 430s. Both are ultra luxury edition. The first one is a 2002. I'm not a huge fan of the silver exterior but the black interior looks very clean and very nice. The other option is a 2004. This one has a very pretty dark blue exterior plus in 04 lexus restyled the exterior and shaved some of the jowls off the car, making it look it much better. However, the interior doesn't look as clean and is the uglier (to me) beige color. Both have similar mileage.
Also the 04 has some features over the 02, the biggest being a 6 speed transmission over a 5 speed. Others include rearview camera, heated and cooled seats (02 only does heated) and maybe some other small stuff that I don't care much about.
The 04 would obviously be the better choice but fuck me if the black interior doesn't look nice. Literally the only reason I can't decide is because of the interior. I know that sounds dumb but I figure if it's something I'm going to sit in everyday then I need to really really like it.
The 04 is about a grand more and sold by a private seller while the 02 is sold by a dealer. I would be paying in cash so I'm sure I could get the dealer to lower his price and the other dude has had his car up for almost a month now so I'm sure I could also haggle a bit with him.
I will be dailying this and I feel like I would be happy with both, I just don't want to buy one and think to myself maybe I should have gotten the other.

I like the 2004 better. Smoother transmission, updated features and styling. Tan sort of sucks but it's not that bad.

Yeah I think I might go with the 04. I'll just have to get used to tan

2004. Tan interiors are better if you park in the sun.

Dammit I've been trying to find a ls400 for months now with no luck. I was even on my way to go look at one and probably buy it and the guy sold it out under me.

Buy a 328 bro much nicer

>>16355523
Get the silver one. The mileage is so similar yet you will save 3k for an extra Civic.

Honestly I was looking at 335s before but I've never had a bimmer before and I don't know much the "bmw has shit reliability" is meme or truth.
That's part of the reason why I was going the route of lexus

If that is what scared you away good thing that you are not buying 20 years old """luxurious""" car instead. Oh wait....

>>16356481
It's 13 years old and lexus is known for its reliability but ok

Oh you sweet summer child... Everything on your car may be "only" 13 years old but technology is at least 20, probably closer to 25.
>lexus is known for its reliability
Doesnt matter. After 13 years every plastic and rubber piece will be rotten and will need to be changed. In the end youll spend more money keeping old shitbox running than you would if you bought something newer
