The car has been abused. Dents on the drivers side door handle that should not even need to be there. Its like one of the past owners likes to punch the car on the way in. Body is in terrible shape - a lot of work needed to be done to bring this car in good shape.Mar 31, 2024

Probably the best Lexus ever made was the 2005-2006 LS430. Opulent, quiet and austere with just enough power and technology to make most Lexus owners happy. Powered trunk, parking sensors, plush seats and matched wood grain on all wood surfaces. Only downside is changing the timing belt and door actuators going out. Forget 2001-2004 and get the updated 2005-2006..Aug 01, 2023

Just lost my first Ls430 in a flood. Found another with lower miles. Previous car had 190k on it. No car compares. So comfortable. Great features. Friends of mine with cars that were 2012+ even said it was nicer than their own cars. Great vehicle for price. Apr 04, 2021

Car Has Aged Well And The Most Reliable Luxury Car To This Day In My Opinion Mar 01, 2021

Great car. Im thoroughly enjoying it. Ive owned it for a little over a week. Everything works. The only downside with a car this age is that you dont have many Bluetooth options. You can just use your phone to make a call and the screen for the infotainment center looks dated. its a very complicated process if you want to upgrade it. All in all still satisfied with the buy and the car. You get all the luxury of any other comparable car in the same class and your model but you also get Toyota reliability. Feb 27, 2021

Amazingly engineered vehicle! As with anything, it requires maintenance by professionals that know what theyre doing. This vehicle is so quiet and void of buzzes or rattles, every little thing will be heard. Substandard windshield replacement will result in wind noise due to incorrect sealing. Changing of timing belt and water pump by your local Joe Schmoe using non OEM parts will result in oil leaks, if not worse. Listening to a tire salesman insisting on installing high performance ZR rated tires is overkill and will affect the ride and quietness. Long story short - fantastic vehicle that requires Lexus level competence to maintain its excellence. Feb 23, 2021

One of the best cars built by Lexus. Even with 100k miles and up the engine still runs smoothly and all the features still function as intended.Feb 05, 2021

I’ve had 4 k of these beauties.
All used , all under 7k , all with 100k or more in miles. Reliable, timeless, excellent resale value.
I always buy / sell. You cannot go wrong with the Lexus LS430, or 400!!! Definitely a BOSS car!Jan 17, 2021

This car is perfect for traveling. It has excellent handling and luxurious interior features that make for a comfortable, quiet, and safe experience. The car has intuitive components that spoil the occupants- like the drivers ability to move the front passengers seat through the push of a button while seating in the drivers seat. The only negative about this car is it's rear wheel drive.May 18, 2014

Rides like glass; smooth quiet power; silky transmission; feels very solid and safe, airbags everywhere; quality of materials is awesome, paint is beautiful, HID headlights make the road light up, MPG is great for size of car; Mark Levinson stereo is best I've ever heard. After a stressful day at work, I open the perfectly balance door with awesome trim, close it with the absolutely most satisfying "whoomp", start it up to a quiet idle, slip it into gear and feel that glassy ride - click on the stereo to hear Beethoven --and feel the stress just slip away .... If, like me, you've never appreciated classical music, listen to it in this car, and you'll love it. I can hear the difference between the quality of classical music recordings easily. Such depth!
