This is the best car ever. Nothing to repair and it was 11 years old when I bought it. Timing belt, a couple of sets of tires, oil change, cabin filters and windsheild wippers and that's it. My goal is to put another 80000 miles on it.

This car is the best vehicle I have ever experienced. Other than standard maintenance, I have had NOTHING go wrong. Service trips have been an ease with no appts, etc. This car beats my Mercedes on all factors - power, style, comfort, efficiency, SERVICE, fun!!
Fantastic

This vehicle is amazing. The ride quality, performance characteristics, and creature comforts make this easily one of the finest automobiles ever made. Smooth acceleration, with the ability to change driving modes, and a stunning ride that is both ultra-quiet and heart-pounding when necessary. The faster the car goes on the highway the smoother the ride gets, until you seem to be literally floating over the road. One truly has to be behind the wheel of this car to believe it. I purchased a 2002 Infiniti QX4 in 2004 for the same price I paid for my LS 430 in 2009. That car was a refrigerator on wheels compared to the LS 430. Talk about affordable luxury.
One of the best cars I’ve ever owned

The 2006 LS 430 is one amazing car. Just purchased one to keep in Boise Idaho where I work during the week (I live near Seattle). I drive a newer Lexus LX 570 at home and can say that the LS430 rivals it and even exceeds exceeds the LX570 in some ways. For a car that’s 13 years old, the technology and quality are simply amazing. Of course it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that my LX570 has but it’s pretty darn close. I bought it with 137,000 miles on it but it was so well cared for that it looks and drives like new. A testament to Lexus quality. I love driving this car! I had planned on giving to one of my daughters when I finish my Boise engagement but have fallen in love with this car and not sure I can give it up now. The ride is solid and silky. Feels like gliding on air. The ride is smoother than my LX570 granted they’re built on different platforms. As a financial guy, not sure that you can get more bang for your buck than an LS430. Truly one of the best cars ever built. Low maintenance costs, extreme comfort and reliability are a winning combination. If you buy one - you won’t be disappointed. Just do your homework and research the car’s history before you buy. You don’t want to buy someone else’s problem if it hasn’t been well maintained. But I can’t say enough Good about this car. I am completely smitten with it! Update: I finished up my Boise engagement last year and loved this car so much that I kept it for myself. I ended up buying two more of them and gave them to both of my daughters. Wanted to relay a quick story: While I was working in Boise I would frequent a 5 star hotel restaurant for dinner about once per week. The hotel had valet parking which I would take advantage of and the valets knew my LS430 well. More than once they commented how my car was nicer nicer, smoother and more comfortable than the new luxury cars they drove and parked. Since all these guys do is drive and park cars all day long I took that as a real compliment and it just reinforced what a special car this is. I still own my LX570 but I find myself gravitating to the LS430 quite often. It really is something special! Update - 3/15/2024: I'm still loving this car. The tires were getting pretty old - they were original Yokomama's from when I purchased the car in 2019 and were manufactured in 2015 so they were due to be replaced. I ended up putting on new Yokohama Advan Sports. I love the way these tire handle. They really do add a sense of maneuvering that pretty amazing for a car this size. The car is as smooth as ever but I'd like it to be a little quieter in the cabin. I wouldn't say it's overly loud but probably not as quiet as an S class Mercedes. I may attempt some sound deadening application to the the doors, trunk area and maybe the wheel wells. I purchased a decibel meter and I'm getting about 65 Db in the cabin. A newer Mercedes S class evidently registers about 50 Db. Part of this is probably due to the 18" rims and tires. They say that 17" rims are quieter and I suppose there may be quieter tires out there but I just love the way these Yokohama's handle and feel. And they are suppose to be tuned for noise reduction. My 18' chrome rims look amazing too and really add to the car's look. I was considering purchasing a newer Lexus LS 500 with air suspension which is powered by a twin turbo powered 6 cylinder that puts out 416 HP. But I love this LS 430 so much that I'm just not sure that I want to part with it. Plus it has that very quiet and dependable 4.3 liter - 8 cylinder power plant which might be the best motor that Lexus ever produced. I enjoy driving this car everyday and it is just a total pleasure.

My last car was a Lexus LS 400.Car was 11 years old and ran perfectly. Will not own anything else. It is a quiet, comfortable and very reliable car. The car is almost maintenance free as long as you take it in for its checkups. The seats and interior are of the best quality and extremely comfortable. The sensors or parking guides are a big asset. The headlights shine 180, you are able to see the side streets at night to make a turn. You will have one of the smoothest rides you have ever had. Holds the road beautifully. The car drives itself. Will never own anything else.
