I've been seriously considering trading in my 2001 GS300 for either a GS430 or an LS430. When I bought my car I said I would just go FI for the extra power but now I don't think I'll ever get around to it. I would like the extra power but also to lower my payments especially since now you can get a decent 430 for less than $20k. I still have 2 years left on my current car. I really like the convenience features on the LS but the "sportier" nature of the 430. I don't know what to do, I never thought I would want to get rid of my car. I do know that I want to stay with Lexus though.

Get the LS430 and dont look back! If you wanted sport then you should get something else. The LS430 is full of luxury as long as you get the later models. Have you test driven an LS430?

LS with the sport suspension package


or, just grab one that's a little cheaper and snag a set of those air/coilover hybrid sets that they came out with and youll have the best of both worlds: excellent handling and awesome looks, with a sweet, soft ride.

Well I finally test drove an LS430 today and I'm convinced that it's the car I want to get. It was a 2005 with almost every option. The only problem is that it's way out of my price range. So I decided that I want to trade in my car for a 2001-2002 GS430 until I can upgrade to the LS430 or the LS460.

The thing is that I like the 04+ better because of the upgrades. The reason I don't want to go FI is because I don't really have the money for it right now so I'd rather get the more powerful 430. I also want to lower my payments by getting an older 430 for under $18k.

Well I decided I want to go with a GS430 so I started parting out my car.

GS430 of course...engine sounds sick with intake and exhaust. almost if not your mpg is almost the same as gs300. Gotta love it.
