Hello again CL! 1 quick question please
I used to post regularly as an IS350 owner. My question is this, I'm looking at a 2006 GS 430 and I'm curious if mileage is an issue? The 430 I'm considering to purchase has 72,500 miles. Thanks for your responses in advance!!

Please use search, there were several discussions about high miles on gs430. In my opinion, if that car was well maintained it should last easily over 200k. This engine was already well tested on previous gen ls430. Any extended warranty on that car? With this type of mileage, you should expect very attractive price.

personally I would rather a car with lower miles and it all depends on what you want, cause you can get a GS 350 with lower miles and has more HP less torque but who's counting. The GS 430 will without a doubt go for a lot more miles but I don't think that long I would look for lower miles in my opinion.

high mileage is not an issue for the GS430 engine. Treat it right and it'll keep on going. Timing belt change is around 90K miles though.

i can name one recent one right off (Valve Spring Recall) requires some pretty in-depth internal engine work. 430 doesn't need this service. I agree the 430 does have a timing belt but a $450.00 service every 90k is a VERY SMALL price to pay for a proven bullet proof engine.
