$45,000 Restoration On A 600,000 Mile Lexus LS430

[@levelbest6142]

3rd gen LS’s are some of the finest vehicles ever produced. This restoration was worth every cent

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Thank you for watching!

[@casimirschudrowitz5434]

That's going to put a lot of lower mileage examples to shame.

[@_CPerk]

My Dad has a ‘03 430. It’s Still running great with minimal issues, mostly normal wear and tear. Great vehicle!

[@giff74]

These kinds of projects are one of the best parts of KZbin for me!

[@ronayotte3571]

Jason and company... that looks better than the day it came off the assembly line. !That was truly an example of "attention to details"!

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Thank you Ron!

[@SamVance]

I love this. I watch several detail channels & a couple car flip channels & it’s always frustrating when they clean the car, but there’s body damage or rust. A car flipper won’t replace small trim pieces or plastics so it’s nice to see the extra steps. Great job.

[@SOobaDD]

I respect the sentimental value he has to the car.

[@samnnamani]

Ahmad is the best and i love he is happy with this outcome. welldone guys

[@TysonHugie]

This attention to detail is so satisfying. I have similar plans for my 1994 Acura Legend coupe. Currently 593,000 on the odo. Nice job! 🙌

[@CL-yp1bs]

Legends are fantastic vehicles. I am a Toyota and Lexus Fanboy but I used to own multiple Legends and they are amazing in their own right. Acura is my second in line behind lexus, but its just personal preference. They truly do not build them like they used to. I like to add sound deadening MLV or lead sheet under panels to block road noise, and it turns them into luxury vehicles that rival a rolls royce in how quiet they are.

[@sidlazzar1002]

Stunning! I bought an 03 Volvo s80 and it’s almost at 200 thousand miles. Bought it back in November and I’m working on getting it back to pristine condition too! Gotta love older cars 🤙🏼cheers mate

[@bodeine454]

I flew down to North Carolina a couple years ago and bought a mid mileage '02 Lexus LS 430 for my wife and drove it back here to Western, Ky. It's in good shape for it's age but I'd love to bring it close to this level someday. That's spectacular! 🤙

[@ELJAY-k7i]

I very much appreciate Ahmed’s level of expertise. I absolutely LOVE the LS 430. Had an 02 which State Farm totaled after a minor driver’s side door/quarter panel. She only has 121k original miles. I am still very bummed about it 😢. Tried a 2010 GA 350 98k miles. The private party owner lied through his teeth but looked me in the eye as he took my cold hard earned cash from me. I didn’t discover it until later that the rear struts were shot, he had an engine oil leak due to a worn out valve cover gasket, he never did a major service nor did he drain/fill any fluids nor did he DIY the air filter and air cabin filter. It is an AWD and he didn’t do the transfer case nor the transmission service. So what did I do? Since I don’t believe in anything regarding my vehicles let alone any squeaks, creaks, leaks? I bought all Lexus OEM parts and had my mobile mechanic work on it and now she is up to snuff. Got rid of the corny mismatch tires 17 inch Lexus wheels and upgraded to a set of chrome nine wheels 74172 off of a 2013 GS wrapped in Michelin pilot sport AS4 tires on there. My GS is off the chain now a d absolutely turnkey. After one year with the GA, I’m going to sell her and go back to the elegance and enjoyment of the LS 430 but a UL this time. The LA is THE best car I ever owned. Real talk

[@sdrjr3562]

I couldn't stop watching the video. I love my car but would never do this lol. Thank you for demonstrating how it's all done!

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@douglaslippertindy]

Thanks, Jason (and Ahmed) for letting us all get a close up last Saturday of this incredible project. Those of us who understand that, for some of us, our cars are more they just transportation really appreciate you and Ahmed. Looking forward to all your new content.

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Falcon5ive]

Been following this project since day 1 at CCN, you guys knocked it out of the park with the restoration, great job.

[@suwoop8025]

Dealerships be like: I’ll give you $2000 for it. I’ll sell it to you for $25,999

[@dlasti]

Wow this gave me inspiration for my 2008 Charger R/T. I let it sit at my old job's lot when I bought my 2015 Charger R/T in 2020. Now that I'm retired, I had to move it from the lot to my driveway, where it's currently sitting, collecting dust. It starts and runs well but, I need to do something with it. After watching this video, I want to do what you did to the Lexus, minus the PPF. Thanks for the inspiration. BTW, sorry to hear about exit from CAP.

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Thank you for watching.

Great video. My daily is a Honda Element with 500,000 miles. Great vehicles. Question- do you ever PPF new windshields? Is this something that’s done?

[@rushmatic]

Hi Jason, love this update! These headlights look different, like they are missing the orange reflector or something. I think these headlights look incredible with a white LS430.

[@mevin2002]

[@timbrown9731]

Great job on the restoration I know how Amd feels about Lexus and Toyota I just recently bought a 2013 ISF in ultrasonic blue from my close friend and I love the car!

[@crypthicc]

amazing. I hope to get my ls430 to this condition

[@Clint_L]

Love it. Really enjoyed this series. For me the thing I love most the black PPF pillars. I need that badly for my car!!!! Looks amazing

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

It was so easy and made them look brand new again.

[@fixedlink]

Stunning, over the top detailing. Kudos to you and your crew for the spectacular work. That Lexus looks amazing and will put others to shame!

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Much appreciated!

[@gallopngoose8753]

Jason, this project showcased your epic level of tenacity and tedious meticulous attention to detail. Well done, good sir. Well done. Your narrative and voice are excellent. I know there was more to the job than you showed but nevertheless, what you did show perfectly captured the job without having to watch longer than my Goldfish attention span could endure. Say, what would you average customer pay you for a job of this scope?

[@gallopngoose8753]

Of course, my gateway drug to your channel was Ahmed's channel.

[@MvP4eVa1]

Outstanding job guys 👍🏼

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@datazndood]

How does the ceramic coating work over the PPF film since it’s not the clear coat? Excellent work though the LS still looks awesome over the years.

[@jackmcdonough2679]

Jason awesome video! keep them coming

[@ril850_1]

Fantastic work and content Jason!

[@Aaaallmmm]

it aint worth 45.000 dollars its not even repainted 100%

[@jeancassel]

Hmmn, as you are not aware, the $45k does not only cover the detailing + repaint. It also covers restoring all the mechanical parts of the car.

[@Aaaallmmm]

@@jeancassel when can u see it in the video? Not even a single seat leather

[@jeancassel]

@@Aaaallmmm I suggest you watch the other part of restoration in The Car Care Nut Channel. You know too much. What you are seeing here is only 1/4 of the battle.

[@Aaaallmmm]

@@jeancassel look at the title.. where does it says its. 1/4?? Nowhere... so clickbait as big as a horse

[@jeancassel]

@@Aaaallmmm It's how youtube works these days man. If you're that SOD, go out, get some sunshine. Ahmed, explained all the costs in his channel. Oh so you're worrying about the leather seats? Reason Jason did not touch them is because Ahmed already planned to replace them all, and he did replaced all those seats after this detail. Good bye, sad boy.

[@TheGodofSEO]

[@galaxygs96]

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Thank you

[@JoshuaDarius-bm7nc]

Hey to pick your brain, would an rx300 be worth restoring? It's not a higher tier lux saloon like the ls, and not a body on frame suv like a gx470, so that's why it seems a wonder.

[@doccadaver]

no way thats a 45,000 restoration

[@AustinNeal]

did u watch all the videos or just the paint and detail?

[@lear60man]

Gonna be the Debby Downer here...but it looks like the hood is off by a shade or two after paint. I get it, pearl is super hard to match. Otherwise, gorgeous car.

[@Demy26]

Great work

[@CarSuppliesWarehouse]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@42luke93]

You should do this to a Toyota Avalon with the front split bench seating and column shifter since they don’t make that set up anymore.

[@Mynameisgus94]

Wow, what a beautiful job...also what a price tag! I meant...you got it, you just got it!

[@trailsdetails4061]

In terms of quality this LS430 has to be one of the best cars EVER built. I just can't like the styling too much as it borrows too many styling cues from Mercedes. Still it's a truly magnificent car

[@MyTimeInChrist]

$45k if you did it you had to pay someone to do it. But when you are a Toyota mechanic and get parts at dealer prices and do most of the work yourself a lot less than $45k.

[@mikef6063]

wow I love this project, but for a 45k restoration, you'd think you might get a full paint job out of it instead of trying to fill in the nicks and scrapes. I watched the whole video, where was the 45k spent? You removed dents, aligned a trundlid, detailed the car, had the hood painted and protected, and did a ceramic coat yourself. How does that add up to 45k?

[@ELJAY-k7i]

Oh and did I mention this clean title GS has customer red/black perforated leather seats? So buyer beware though. Always always always get a Carfax. Edite purchase or bring your mobile mechanic. It’s worth the $ to buy and research your car FIRST

[@wozmac771]

confused? if being repainted, why wash and decontaminate? Quite frankly, the amount of time and effort you have done on all other parts, just repaint from bare metal.

[@Methylphenidate2803]

It is more of an emotional appeal. For example M5 E39 is not worth a lot of money but people still pay top dollar for it. Even E38 7 series that one BMW mechanic was restoring got sold at nearly 40K. Sentimental value I guess is the right word and it is kind of cool.
