It is a good, solid ride for urban and suburban driving.
It's as good as a new car. I drives smoothly and would width stand race against other cars. This car has so many features that is still up to date with new cars put on the market.

It is a hard-top convertible. What is more appealing than that?!?!
Bought this from a retired couple in Stillwater, ok, and have loved it ever since. It has 149, 000 miles, and still runs like it is brand new. With it is hard top, it is the best car I have ever had! If I could duplicate it again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I have had 3 corvettes, a stretch limo, along with a series of other vehicles, but this is the best of them all!!

If you are considering this model, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
It's an older luxury make Lexus but still looks better than most vehicles driven in my area. It's great on gas and doesn't require a lot of maintenance. It's gray in color and I would recommend this make to anyone.

If you like scenic drives this car is perfect with the top down.
It drives smooth. The top comes down real easy. Comfortable ride. Beautiful car. Do not. Like how much gas it uses. For a little car you would think less gas usage.

Economy and value. V8 response with 21 combined mpg.
Lexus quality. Ride. Room. Safety. 10 to 12 hours does not wear you out. Nice color combo and the power to cost of operations makes it a clear choice.

Lexus LS 430 Great Vehicle Low MPG
As my car is currently a 2003, it has its ups and downs. Although I bought the car second hand, I am aware that the original owner did minimal repairs to the vehicle. The best parts of the vehicle include the sunroof, the smooth drive, the leather seats and wood trim. However, one downside is the gas. The car requires premium gasoline and has a twenty gallon tank. Additionally the miles to the gallon are not the best.

It's a quiet, comfortable ride with low maintenance.
Best car ever. At 255,000 miles needed a new transmission. But the car runs great, and nothing rattles as happens in many other cars.
accountCircle Allan B
It is dependable always with very low maintenance.
I have no complaints regarding my car. Although the car is fifteen years old closer to 400,00 miles. My Lexus is still a joy to drive and Whenever I travel rarely to I fly instead I drive my Lexus.

It needs a new multi display unit and it has high mileage
It's a very comfortable and reliable car although because of its age the electrical system is not working properly.
