2005 Lexus LS 430 consumer reviews

My dad bought his 2005 lexus ls430 with about 1000 miles on it. He drove it up to around 90,000 miles where he gave it to me. I currently have 200,000 miles on it and it runs like new. He has owned about 5 cars since than and still says this is the best car he ever owned. Besides the toyota land cruiser, this may be the most reliable car ever made.

I owned a 99 LS400 prior to my 430. After driving the 99 I was sold and had to have another LS. I literally have never driven anything that drives like the LS. The comfort smooth ride is unreal. I plan on getting at least 500k miles or more. LS from now on.

I have owned well over 30 cars in my lifetime at age 57. The 2001-2006 Lexus LS430 was and is the best car ever built in my opinion, I have owned now three LS430's, I have bought the newer models LS460 and even two LS500's and I kept wanting my LS430 ride duplicated and never could. NEWER is not BETTER! Just read these reviews Time after Time everyone, BEST ride,Best Quality Best Best Best....

I bought my 2005 LS 430 ultra lux new. I have 326,000 miles on it and it still purrs like a kitten. The servicing is fantastic but not cheap. I have to say that it’s the best car I’ve ever had! I think back then I paid approximately $75k.

Great car, smooth ride and power when needed. Really almost any Lexus IS great. You looking for a great car this is the type of car you want

Had a 2001 Mercedes S430 before this car and the Mercedes does give you a heavier and a better ride. The negitive of the Mercedes is much higher maintenance repairs.

I own the Ultra-Luxury version of this car, and there are too many features to mention. I only wish I had been able to ride in the back once or twice. Built as a limo, this is both a driver's and a passenger's dream. Reliable, very comfortable...the only thing I would have wished for is better mileage...I get 20 city/25 highway. Best car I've ever owned.

I purchased my LS430 last fall with 54K miles on the clock after 15 years of careful ownership. I replaced all the fluids and filters, dealt with a few minor issues and did a major brake service. This car is built to such a high standard it is almost unbelievable. The factory stereo is wonderful but I rarely use it - I love the silence and serenity of the cabin. It is strong, very smooth, and rides and handles well. Even after months of ownership I'm still finding thoughtful features and mind boggling attention to detail. I'm 63 and I hope to drive this car the rest of my life because it makes me smile every time I slip behind the wheel. Find a good one and BUY IT.

This car was still an excellent car even though I had 253,000 miles on it when I bought a new Lexus. Style comfort, design were fantastic.

I've done a lot of research about the LS430, and it is basically a tank. So far no issues but after a year I will come and update my review.
