I'm looking at a 2005 GS430 with 120k miles on the clock.

It looks very clean and has Lexus service history (including 100k miles timing belt service)

Is 120k something I should be worried about with these cars? Everything seems to work etc...

It's an unusual grey/purple colour, not seen it before, what's it called?

Also will 19in rims off a 2gs fit straight on?

Thanks

Pic's of said color?

And for reference, I bought my 01 with 132k miles on the clock.....120k is nothing.

Also wrong section....this is 3rd gen, the car you're asking about is Gen 2.

madfish

Nope it's the gen 3

In the UK the 3rd gen started at 2005

I'll pop up a pic... thanks

120K is nothing. mine is 160K+ already.

and yes, 19" from 2GS wheels will fit just fine.

Good luck. Nice color !!

Well, I'm special, sorry for the misunderstanding. If it has the same drivetrain then it should be good for many miles to come .

Your fine i'm at 360k... I have a gen 2 but its the same engine...

Do these suffer from electrical gremlins There is so much tech inside

More interior rattle gremlins than anything. Didn't realize how bad my 460 was until I drove my brother's '06 4Runner the other day, haha.

I'm in the UK with just 53k miles on my 06 GS430 and the trim rattles really spoil what is otherwise a very nice car. The roads here are pretty bad, which doesn't help plus the 430 doesn't have a comfort setting for the AVS like the LS, so it rides quite firmly too. Still really like the car though.

Nice GS430, I'd go for it!

The color is Quartz Shadow Metallic.

I'm gutted as I missed out on this one, the day I went to pick it up my lift broke down and the seller sold it to the next guy on his list...

I've spotted another one I fancy (although not as nice colour combo, silver with tan interior) but I've been thinking about a LS430 now as well (more choice and cheaper leaving money for mods)
