My current Lexus (LS 430) was bought in 2001 on the strength of the performance of my first Lexus (LS 400), which I owned/drove for ten years. I faithfully have "scheduled" maintenance but never had to have either serviced for other work - absolutely problem-free! I love the way it drives, the way it looks and hope my next purchase will be a 2007 Lexus (LS 460) or later. My current one still looks and drives like new after 5 years and only has 30,000 miles on it - it's only the handsome styling of the newest generation that is tempting me!

I finally upgraded my 95 LS 400 after 180K trouble free miles and bought a used LS 430 that looks new. What a car. The engine has tremendous power for a luxury car. The interior is stunning and the luxury accoutrements are wonderful. Lexus makes the best cars in the world. What a pleasure to drive. With Sinatra's hits playing on the premium sound system whats not to like!

This is my third new Lexus. I still drive my first, a 1993 SC300. 177,000 miles and other than routing maintenance, no problems. My 2001 is a good car in a lot of ways but I have had many problems with this vehicle. The steering column need 3 parts to make it right, Both side view mirrors needed to be replaced, both trunk struts needed to be replaced, One of the factory wheels developed a crack around the lug nut hole and needed to be replaced. The driver's seat needed to be repaired. All of the above was done under warranty but as I only have 60,000 miles on my car now, I can only expect more and very expensive repair work that won't be covered. I think I'll look for another make vehicle.

The LS was simply amazing and the best car I have ever owned in my life. It gave me 0 problems over 4 years.
