Best Pre Owned Buy....By Far!

Purchased used 2002 with 92K miles. I had looked at a few but this one was spotless, drove, rode and looked far better than some newer rentals I've driven. Did a lot of research before buying and the reviews were accurate. It is an amazing car! Did the 90K service with timing belt replacement then got 27.1 mpg on a three hour hwy ride @ 70 mph with cruise... on marginal tires. Went from a 2000 Honda Accord Coupe to the LS 430. That car avg 30 mpg under similar conditions but what I gained is night and day. Have NO idea why I didnt do this sooner!

2nd LS

I had a 98 LS400 before this one. Much improved ride and is quieter as well. Levinson stereo is awesome. If buying used, check to see if subwoofer is blown. $400 to replace. It is as quiet as my 04 MB S430 but not as comfortable. Thigh support not as good as the Benz. I am getting 25MPG on highway. But the thing about Lexus is they are so very reliable.

Incredible car for a 2002

I bought my 2002 LS430 in May 2008 and have only replaced the water pump. This car has a perfect ride and I love the interior. Once your in second gear this car takes off. I have had numerous complements and this car is the best buy out there!
