Though I love both my luxury sedans lol The GS though is a nice car for 06-07, I rather pick this things than the E350s from that time because this one will be more reliable on the long run, has some more goodies as standard and definitely looks sharper than the w211 E class from 2003-2009. That comparison was just because I am new to Lexus and just shared my opinion on it... I have become a Lexus fan now of course...I have one in my possession now so I have to be lol

BTW my second smart key is not working, it is broken. Does anyone here know how much Lexus dealers charge if they do to program a second key when I take one to them?
Broken key or dead remote battery?

Sometimes it's just a microfuse, do you know how to check those?

check out that tutorial, check other youtube links too. It should give u a gist of how to check for blown fuses.

to check your key fob, there's no tutorials on that, (not on this subforum anyway) but you can trace from the positive end of the battery terminal and check.

GL!

Same here. I don’t see any 430s around but I’m not on the road that much anymore. As I recall, there were around 5,000 2006 GS430s produced (maybe that’s the U.S. number?) and very few 2007 GS430s produced as it was a special order only car. I believe there were around 1500 2008 GS460s made, and then just a handful of those over the following few years.

But back to my 2006 430, like the last poster, best car I’ve ever owned.

Sold my 13 IS-F a little while ago, and although I have a 20 GX460 that I daily I was itching to buy another car after selling my heavily modified BMW 535. So, while browsing Craigslist I came across a 2006 GS430, one-owner, and best of all with 74k miles listed for an good price


. I contacted the owner and bought it a few hours later. Although black is my least favorite color but I couldn't pass up on a low mileage GS430.

Nice I don't mind black . I came across mine 2nd owner car was sitting in a Carpeted Garage lol Brand Spanking new Flawless. Had all the Books and records. I mean everything was unreal. Also all weather mats.. Hour later was mine I know I made a great buy on mine too. Gold Package didn't excite me too much. All emblems gold and center of chrome wheel also gold lol. Enjoy the rumble and power.
