The only reason I am parting with my car is because I need to seat more than 5 people. I have nothing but positive things to say about the GS430. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

When I set out to get a new car, I had a few goals to meet. I wanted a V8 powered FR car with "IN YOUR FACE" attitude. And boy, I've got one. Now I actually look forward to seeing the red light. Why? Step on it and you know why. 3700LB car takes off with dire urgency. I burned expensive Bridgestones in a few occasion(not recommended). Lexus quality is phenomenal. It is indeed the luxury car...with 300 ponies at your service.

I had a '98 GS400, traded it in, got a GS430. Is there another sport sedan I should be looking for? The navigation and sound systems are terrible in E55 and M5. Lexus has the best navigation system, bar none. Touch typing a street name is much easier than rotating a knob through the alphabet!

This is a black on black '01 430 w/ approx 49k. The is awesome looking car!! I am not a car enthusiast or expert, but this is an incredible automobile. It is a perfect mix between luxury and sport and it won't break like some other makes. It is extremely quiet, shifts very smoothly, corners nicely and it will throw into the seat when you want to. My wife made this comment about it after she drove it on her 50 mile commute: "driving that car will change your life. It literally changes your outlook on life!!!" (So much for it it being my car!) If you want the perfect mix of luxury, perfomance and reliability, this is the car. I needed struts at 47k miles, Great Warranty Service.

Terrific road car. It is very powerful and really fun to drive. The only issue we have had is a minor display glitch with the radio lcd window. Otherwise the car has performed perfectly.
