I'm old, but young at heart. I'll be 75 this year.

Im 26 and always wanted a LS 430. I purchased mine when I was 25 march 2012 and do not regret it not one bit. Some people like to call it an old persons car and I tell them well I paid for the old mans car and until you help pay the payment on it, your opinion doesnt matter to me.

29 here, got my Ls430 (ul) about a year and a half ago. I owned a 2gs and felt like the next step up would be a used LS, and what initially caught my eye about the 430s was the crazy amount of woodgrain!

Lol, well that and the overall comfort and reliability as well.

I'm 26 turning 27 in July. Picked up my LS430 about 3 months ago from the original owner who was an asian lady in her 40-50s.

I had a nissan 240sx and a subaru wrx before this car so it was a big change but I wanted something more luxurious and something that didn't make me look too young.

I definitely love the car but I do miss a sporty car. I wish I had the garage space to pick up a sc300 or something sporty...

I turn 24 next month. Buying my first Lexus today. 06 ultra.

Need something more baby/kids friendly rather than a 2j 240. Lol.

I will be the 3rd owner. Prior owner to me bout it in 09 with 25k. Now has 123k. For $16k, don't think I'm losing.

It's cool to see so many guys in my age range with LS'. I've never seen a person under 30 driving one in my area. The LS seems to be a car people of all ages can enjoy.

I'm 41 and the first words out of my mouth looking at my now crystal white LS430 UL was "that is one serious grandpa car"! But then I sat in it and it was a totally different experience. On the outside its one of the least flashy cars on the road, but on the inside it's completely different. I spend a lot of time in my cars, so it was important for me to have a car that would be a nice living room! Btw, the previous owner is 66 and bought the car new when he was 57.

Where did you find a ls 06 ultra for that kind of money , here in Atlanta you can't find a 03 02 ultral for that price. You got a deal . I think car here has more value or its in demand especially ls 430 . I still think its a great car, I don't see why everyone doesn't talk about the looks of it . I think its a great looking car . If you confuse this car,to a Benz like people stated you're just another hater . Toyota didn't built this car trying to copy a Mercedes . Anyone who said they did copy Benz ,need to see the original version in Japan in the 90 era. Wow right more like Benz people used that line because the ls was just a better car .....sorry I love the ls and my Benz is not worth the trouble . I have no shame owning a lexus because it is the best .

that miata is pretty sweet man. For me im 18 and bought mine a month ago. i had a toyota soarer before, got tired of it and wanted to step my game up, then due to extremly unfortuante circumstances for the guy i wanted to buy the LS from, i ended up getting a very good deal, so i was able to afford it.

my soarer.
