Lexus LS430 DD?

[torquelover]

Need a new DD soon and was thinking something comfy. I had an LS400 before and liked it. Thoughts about a 3rd gen LS430? Prices seem to be pretty good for these now. Any Lexus techs on here?

Not a Lexus tech but I absolutely love those cars. Good luck finding one!

Odd that a few of those issues I had with my first gen. Sub and door speaker surrounds disintegrated, power tilt/telescope issues, dash wood cracking, and my phone controls rattling on the steering wheel. So far no control arm issues or climate control displays going out which is promising. Air suspension life doesn't seem to good.

you should really consider a 8-10yr old E55K. They have the same types of issues as the lexus but make crazy torque with simple mods. They are damn comfy/elegant as well and clean ones with low miles can be had for less than 18K. The lexus while still a very nice car is merely a dressed up Toyota.
