    Best Luxury Car I have ever owned

    I really love the 290 HP and 320 lb ft of torque which is especially useful when passing someone on the highway. It has all luxury car options such as leather seats, sunroof, dual zone climate control, heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats. I bought mine with 89300 miles and plan to keep it till at least 200,000or 300,000 miles.

    Classic luxury unmatched

    I bought this vehicle as an extra vehicle for my kids to drive. I got a steal of a deal on the car and after driving it almost feel that it's too nice of a vehicle for them. I know that sounds strange, but it is heaven to drive. Incredibly smooth, perfect shifts, quiet, powerful enough to do whatever you need... it just screams luxury. This thing could easily go 500,000 miles. It is a joy to drive and I plan on owning mine for another 20 years. I have an LS 460 that is just as fantastic, but I'm still drawn to this car. You honestly cannot compare this to any other vehicle on the road. Drive one and find out.

    Affordable Executive Luxury

    The sedan is also a perennial favorite in J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study, consistently ranking at the top of the large premium-car category. Shoppers who want a flagship luxury car for $15,000 should look no further than Lexus's full-size, V8-powered LS430 sedan.

    Best car ever!

    My grandfather first purchased this in 2003 and it was by far the best car that he owned. The most quiet sounding car and smooth for what it was worth. Since I'm pretty sure it has a V6 engine, I would have thought for sure it would make some noise. Lexus seems to defy those odds. When I traded it in a few years ago, ended up with just under 300,000 miles on it. Since 2003, I don't recall a single major problem with the car, it was a sweet ride and was great on long runs.

    Smoothest ride ever... Hands down.

    Easily the quietest, smoothest, and most calming vehicle I've ever driven (including my LS460 and Tesla S100D. Lexus reliability, sound quality, fit and finish... The Lexus service manager said this is the best engine and transmission combo ever produced by Lexus.
