2006 was the last year for the Japanese built LS430. Mine has been dealer serviced since new and the sales and service departments both rave about how much more solid and agile this car is compared to the LS460 and even the 500. When new 27 MPG at 70-75; Overall average was 22.4 until it hit 200k then slowly dropped to 21. Sure the Nav and bluetooth are outdated but its still smooth, quiet, and reliable. If you still have one, preserve it as it will prove itself to be the most practical car you'll ever own - worthy of 100's of thousands of miles of reliable and comfortable driving.

The best car I've ever owned, so good that mentioning a few nit-picks seems out of place. Still, the front door are too long for easy opening in a parking lot. The nav. system was very hard to me to learn. The voice-operated controls are not useful and I keep hitting the "on" button for them with my left knee. But -- the mileage average over 25 in my rural medical practice, the sound system works flawlessly, guests in the backseat keep raving about their experience.

The 2006 LS 430 defined what being a Lexus means.

The 2006 LS 430 was the last year for the 430, as a result all the "bugs" (if any?) were identified the previous years leaving the refined 2006 LS 430 as the high water mark for the LS series and Lexus. The LS 460 has not enjoyed the perfection the LS 430 achieved making the 2006 LS 430 one of the finest automobiles available to this day and why the prices are very high, especially for the Luxury optioned vehicles with low mileage and service records being the ultimate vehicle available at any price today. My Uncle had a Bentley Azure turbo convertible that went for as much as many homes, it was allegedly the epitome of refinement but I can tell you at 120 mph hit the brakes on the Bentley and it might pull you out of your lane! I have driven every car you can imagine and none have the refinement od perfection of the 2006 LS 430. Look on the Lexus owners forums, the 2006 Lexus LS 430 is the car to be had for the knowledgeable aficionado.

Vehicle was a mfg buyback w/15K miles, ultra luxury package, supposedly had no start issues but under warranty. Paid 31K & just extended my warranty thru 8/75K so I'm covered for awhile. Absolutely love this car, best I can figure previous owner didn't drive it much & left the Smart key either in or near the car and the batteries would die. Haven't had any issues in my first year except had the front windshield R&R'd due to noise at 80mph against a headwind. Will be replacing original tires soon w/odometer at just over 25K. Just a beautiful ride, happy with everything except driver seat bottom comfort - it's just not very comfortable on a long drive, needs more cushion and support.
This car is a dream to drive!

I have had many cars in my life and this car is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It is very comparable, but drives like the BMW 745. I raced one of the BMW 745s the other day and we never left each other. So for those out there who think Lexus is only an old person's car, you are mistaken. I am 32 years old and have four other cars including the BMW M6. And the Lexus is still one of my favorite cars to drive!
