Bought this LS 430 in October 2018. Had only 42K and well maintained. It was a one owner vehicle. I have owned 30+ vehicles in the past ,various makes and none...NONE have been this close to perfection. This car is superb in every way. Fifteen years old and it is still basically new in/ out...primarily due to the construction and Lexus commitment to car design and reliability. They made a flagship for ALL other luxury vehicles. Bar None. Wonderful to drive- so quite..I have actually got out and walked away ...the car beeped and I realized it was still on! Fit and finish excellent. It still is way ahead of its time even by today's standards! I love it and my suggestion is ...buy one you will never return to anything else! Now at 48k and 1.1 years...no maintenance except oil change and a cabin filter. Drove it to Canada ...better mileage the faster I went?! Only issue sub stopped working...seems that's a issue as speakers get old. Otherwise very 😊 happy.

"Conservative, Reliable Luxury"

I have owned and driven many cars in my life from cheap to expensive and I can honestly say that the 2004 Lexus LS430 that I currently have surpasses them all. The car is big but it handles very well and it is very quiet and luxurious and unlike other expensive cars like BMW and Mercedes the Lexus is very reliable so you are not constantly in the shop getting things repaired. The car also is not bad on gas when you compare it to other V-8's and even some V-6's. I also like the fact that although the car is very luxurious it is not ostentatious(flashy)because I am conservative and do not like a lot of attention. Lastly I had heard that Lexus Customer service was outstanding and it is.
2004 Lexus Great Car

I had a 1990 LS 400 back when the car first came out, late '89 to 1992. I dropped it, put sweet fat 5-star chrome rims on it and triple-limo tinted all the windows -- burgundy metallic on burgundy leather. That car was 240hp of undeniable quality and perfection. I got a comment everywhere I went; everyone loved that car. I'd take it to Vegas at 130mph like it was nothing! Put 70,000 miles on it in three years and seven years later, I took one in on trade (I was a dealer then) with 280,000 on it -- a black one -- and it started up without a puff and drove like a brand new car!! I've driven an Audi TT quattro cabriolet, a Mercedes S420, 300 SEL, and BMW 540i -- nothing compares to a Lexus LS!
Best car I have ever owned

We bought this LS430 with 6000 miles on it. The car has been flawless ever since. All we have to do is the standard maintenance and that is it. Fuel economy is good for a large car with up to 26 mpg on trips. Ride quality and comfort are excellent for a large sedan. The powertrain is powerful and quiet.
