Used 2002 Lexus GS 430 Sedan Consumer Reviews

Great Car.
Great Car
I rely on these ratings fairly heavily so when i bought this car back in June I thought I should write to anyone considering buying one. This is by far the best car I've ever owned. It has 63,000 miles on it and it drives like it is brand new. It is so solid, so smooth, and has a ton of power. I would recommend it to anyone considering buying one, you won't be disappointed.
You gotta get one of these!
No problems. 2 time Lexus owner. We really like the car and service. Mark Levinson stereo is fantastic! Best and most fun car I have ever owned. Test drove the BMW M5, 540, 740. M5 was great, too pricey. 540 too noisy and not quite enough power. 740, nice car but I could run faster. Lexus hit the mark by balancing speed, safety, and luxury at a reasonable price.
Don't look any further....
This is my second GS (the 1st was a '98 400). I never thought I would own two of the same type of vehicle, but I made any exception. Just when you thought the 400 didn';t need improvement, Lexus tweaked the tourque and the car SCREAMS!! Quicker, but I still me the gimmicky E-shift. You can keep the hard riding 540 and MB430..this is nicer to drive and more comfortable (and that's from people who have ridden in this car and own a 540 and MB430).
GS430 - watch out BMW & BENZ
Fantastic car. Faster than a Boxster, 540, E430. More comfy than the BMW. Better control layout than the others. Better build quality in my experience too. JM LExus is THE dealership. BMW guy was snotty and insisted on going on the test drive. MERC dealer wanted my credit card before allowing a test drive (right!) Lexus chap said "take it out for the day" and I did!
