Money Pit although very comfy

I have owned this car brand new for almost 7 years. In the beginning I was flabbergasted at the wonderful level of support and service. I trusted the reviews of reliability and long lasting promises of this car, as it was our retirement car and more money than we have EVER spent for a vehicle. We have done every service recommended and not let anyone but the dealer touch the car. It was treated impeccably. It would take several pages to tell you what has gone wrong with this car! Things like shocks/struts leaking, AC compressor, seat belts, battery, interior malfunctions, trunk button/shock lifts, brakes, tire indicators malfunction, auto door closer, ETC! Lexus says, too bad, no warr

This is a comfortable luxury sedan that performs and handles like a sports car. I have had the other premium sedans, keep testing and know that I wouldn't be satisfied with another make. And it's safe. Was hit head-on and survived well. NOTHING ever goes wrong with this car!

Great, but a few flaws

Overall, I am very happy with the car. It performs well, rides very well, and is a real joy to drive. Though I paid dearly for not buying OEM-specified tires, I have dealt with a few defects (AC vent sweep, passenger mirror failure, headlamp gasket replacement, and a manufacture- defected windshield). Also, (as a safety issue) I have a problem with the mirrors rotating in before exiting the vehicle, especially when parking on the street. Even with these drawbacks, I would definitely recommend this vehicle.
I love it twice...

My second LS 430, this one trumps the 02 I had easily. The seats are much improved, and near perfect now. Handling is better, though not a Bimmer, it's good. Dependability is perfect. Love the Bluetooth phone, which works flawlessly with my Treo every time. The A/C is the best I've ever known, and the cooled seats are welcome in the desert. Can't get more luxury value for the money, IMO.

The 2005 Lexus 430 LS is the best luxury driving machine I.ever driven. I have taken several long trips in it with my brother to the coast of florida . I drove it all the time. What a experience it was. I couldn't feel the road at all. I feltl like I was floating down the interstate. Awesome Mark Levinson sound system made the ride even more enjoyable. Heated and cooled seats long with plenty of trunk space just to mention a few extras. I don't understand why Lexus would quit making this particular model. It has the European look that makes it stand out even more. The quality in this vehicle is excellent. Why would you take perfection and make a mess out of it?
