Hey George, I have an '05 GS430 also and I have your answer: Produced GS430 is (422).

I have a PDF, look on page 2. Total GS units 3000: GS430 (422), and GS300 (2578)

Can you say RARE!

Sweet deal, that pretty much answers the question, huh? Thanks!

BTW, mine's a black onyx with tan interior (would've preffered grey or black but cant be too particular...especially when it's 1 of 422 )

Thanks 1QWK!

I was on Lexus info site (knowledge center) probably taken down by now but while I was there I ran across some files of all our relics.

If you PM me your email, i'll send you the related files.

I have PDF Info of : IS (2001-2005), SC (1992-2005), GS (1998-2005), LS (1990-2005)

Let me know which Lineup you want or all of them..

Great info! No wonder you don't see a lot of 430's riding around. Obviously the lower production was contributed to the gas spike after 2000. I didn't know the wood wheel was an OPTION, I thought it was standard for 430's. Guess it only makes sense to get one if you are only going to pay an extra 300 for it. It's crazy that they only charged $300 for it, but people are getting more than that on the used market now lol.

At least my color got some love in the PDF lol.

Wow. That's a significant drop from the 01 production models to the 02's. I can understand why they made so few models in 2005. This was the year they rolled out the 3rd gens and sold them on the lots as 06 models
