Default 2000 LS400 or 2001 GS430?

Have no idea which one i should get now. I know I want a Lexus but which ONE???
Which one would you guys choose? The interior room is about the same, 2001 GS does have the newer nav system. Sigh...

Tough choice...my suggetsion is to drive them both and see which you like more. What kind of driver would you say you are?

Smile Which one?

I agree with RA40 drive both then pick, also run the vin numbers with carfax.com. You never know! Also if navigation is a huge issue, you should go with the 2001 GS430. The GS430 is fast, I mean fast. You never know how fast your going until you check your speed at times, or until you see the blue lights behind you. That's "one time" (also known as the cops).GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

the ls 400 is fast too and like my man says about the gs you never know until you look. drive both cars but the biggest diff. might be interior space and handling

The GS has the 4.3L with 10 more horses, and 25 more tq. The LS has better brakes, and slightly better materials on the inside. The LS has more room inside, the GS has a bigger trunk. The GS will handle a bit more sportier then the LS though.

The LS styling is far superior to the GS as well. The GS will smoke the LS in handling.

LS is better than the GS in building quality. GS430 is fast, but not that much faster than the LS400. If u are looking to modify the car in the future.....get the LS. It's more exclusive and classic.
