the Emperor
I was toying with the idea of a Merc, BMW or even a Jag untill I took a ride in my friends older 430. I then realized that I have been a total nut overlooking the Lexus for the Merc (I had a S500). This car beats everything else high and dry, no car is worth comparing to this beauty. After buying it the same day! i have taken the "emperor" all the way to yellowstone and back and it was pure pleasure, like a bottle of 1960's wine. When you are cruising on the freeway make sure you look at your speed, your touch 100 without even a slight shake or whirr of the engine. Frankly if I were the CEO of Mercedes or BMW, I would not be able to sleep well at night, this 430 has beaten every car by miles
GS at its finest! Grand Sport for sure!
Make sure the timing belt, water pump, and charging systems have been checked. This car is all computers and circuit boards. It's a beast to own, very nice ride, the adjustable suspension from sports to luxury is amazing. With routine maintenance you can't go wrong.

GS 430
Excellent controls and control panel design. Lexus is known for having logical and organized panels. High technology and dependable. Good resale value. Outstanding gas mileage 26 mpg hwy 20 city. The run flat tires on the car are terrible and expensive. I replaced 5 tires in 13 months at $400 a tire. I finally traded the vehicle in when the dealership informed me this was an ongoing problem with all of their sport vehicles and there was nothing they could do about the problem.
Electronic revelry
This is such an incredible improvement over my last car a 2002 GS 430. From the Nav System to the 6 speed transmission. Interior fit/finish is superb. Two suggestions: 25 more hp and increase powered subwoofer on ML system to 250 watts. Otherwise a dream to drive. Smooth dynamic and the exterior lines attract attention. Blue tooth pretty good .
Day 1 observation
So far so good, bought it 14 Apr. Previously owned an SC430 but this is more practical and seems more fun to drive. Love the 4.3L V8. Very quiet, responsive, and comfortable.
