2003 Lexus LS 430 consumer reviews

This is my third LS Lexus and they are not only trouble free they are very quiet, comfortable luxury cars. I have a very bad back and the seats are so good that I have traveled as far as 800 miles in one day without discomfort. This is an exceptional luxury car.

Having been extremely satisfied with a used Lexus LS400 purchase, I replaced it with a nine year old LS430. The LS Series has redefined the luxury segment as far as I'm concerned. Very high enduring quality and excellent price performing used car value. Can't really justify any new car purchase and will eventually move into a used LS460. Love these cars!

Simply the best vehicle I have ever owned. Mechanically sound, never any trouble, rides like a dream, and has every option I could ever want. Comfortable, attractive, fuel efficient, very well built.

$65K + for a new car is rediculious. But for under $30 there is nothing new out there that can compete. If you want luxury to the max, but your budget says ya right, then a used LS is what your looking for. These types of cars are made with little consideration to cost, total vehicle satifaction is their goal. Reliablity is where lexus sets its self above MB, BMW, and like. If all were new, then the decision is tough. But have you ever wondered why the market is cluttered with those types of cars at or just under 100,000. Because they soon become junk.

I've owned the 1990 LS400 and it is a handmade bulletproof machine, but this 2003 isn't far off. The 2003 rides better, has a little more power, idles smoother, shifts a little better with 6 speeds, and seems to be just as reliable with the exception of some very minor things. These Lexus V-8 engines are the best engines on the road, bar none. I have gotten 26 mpg on a long freeway trip to Canada! All in town only 15 to 17. Engine uses no oil between 4,000 mile oil changes. Transmission fluid can be checked here, in 2006 LS, it is locked in place for the dealer to inspect only. Fluid stays pink for 20,000 miles at least, so this is a very tough well built tranny as well. Seats are super comfortable, and this car is one of the safest in the world in a real world crash I learned from a LS crash survivor. The Mark Levinson stereo system is awesome, and the leather and real wood trim is top notch. It's a Rolls Royce in a reliable form.

This is a great car. Great performance for a car of its size and weight. Exterior a little tame compared to the BMW and Mercedes but the interior is much better than the others. No service issues on this certified pre-owned car. Maintenance is very affordable as compared to the other cars mentioned previously. After two years I still look for excuses to just go out and drive around as it is a treat to be in this car.

This is the best luxury car I've have ever own. It drive so smooth. Even thought I bought it as certified pre owned, the car was worth the money. The factory extented warranty worked out wonderfully. The maintenance cost is cheaper than other luxury cars. It beats buying a brand new Lexus. In the future I will, again purchased a certified pre owned luxury Lexus.

second LS I have leased. Great car, great service at Lexus of Bellevue. Some typical car buying experiences, but overall, very positive. Would try and give them future business if the deal is right.
