Explore the 2001 Lexus LS 430

I purchased my 2001 LS 430 in 2007 with only 28000 miles

I purchased my 2001 LS 430 in 2007 with only 28000 miles . It’s been great. Can’t keep my wife out of it. She drives a ES 350 2014. It’s great also. You can’t beat this vehicle. Very low maintenance. Great power at 202,000 miles, and still runs great. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this car. Stil has the same great look of a new car

Beauty for the money, why buy a Mondeo?

I always wanted an LS430, I have owned just about all popular makes, Jags, BMW, Merc, etc, but none come close to how this runs, So quiet, smooth, just comforting regardless of the miles covered. Effortless. Its a good job a purchased it with a warrantee, the condenser went, the sub woofer needed replacing and a parking sensor had failed. All things not picked up by the garage pre sale. All done now though, so one happy chap. 103K miles on it, paid less than £3k, and she is immaculate inside and out, with service history. Cant complain.... yet

A Reliable Alternative to German Rivals

Last year I purchased my LS430 as a nearly 20-year-old, 200,000 mile car, and for nearly any other vehicle manufacturer, my expectations would have been low - but not for Lexus. When I initially purchased the LS430, the car had been sitting for two years - I drove it nearly two hours home from its resting spot, and it slowly fixed itself over the course of that drive: the tires de-lumped, the heat started working, electrical components began to wake up, and the car was back to life. With features like heated leather seats, navigation, dual zone automatic climate control, and a large power moonroof, the car was incredibly comfortable to drive. Additionally, its V8 engine was surprisingly powerful, as it still had plenty left to give at 80+ mph. Overall, the Lexus LS430 continues to offer itself as a viable option in the used car market to this day, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to get into some inexpensive Japanese luxury.

267K miles later and I STILL love this car!

I have been looking at getting a later model Lexus LS but I just can't give up this beauty I have. After almost 19 years it still drives like a dream, has an interior that nobody beats for luxury and is RELIABLE! My grown kids just laughed at me until they drove it again recently. They agreed, it still gets up and GOES and handles beautifully. Timing belt, tires, oil that's it. No sitting in a dealer service department for me.
