Why get the Ultra Luxury?
I usually drive my car. The idea that the back seats recline and have massage doesn't interest me, in fact, I'm probably jealous of whomever is back there.
Since my kids are 8 and 4, and still in booster seats, and couldn't appreciate the features anyway...
Sorry, rant off.
Seriously, I find that the additional features from the Custom Lux to the Ultra Lux all seem to benefit the back seat passengers. There can't be that many LS430's driven by chauffeurs, can there?

Very true. I never understood why Lexus decides that the massage function should be reserved only for the rear passengers. Even the S-Class offers it on all 4 seats.
On the other hand, while there may not be many LS430's driven by chauffeurs, there can be many LS430 owners who simply want the top-of-the-line and the best of the best, more of an emotional thing (the wow-factor) than a sensible one.

And as XeroKOOL says, there's the wow factor for buying the top of the line model.
When I see a MB S600, do you really need that supercharged V12 on the congested L.A. freeways?
It's not like it can go any faster than the Chevy Geo next to it.........

I love the UL and that's the only reason I took home a used LS430 instead of a brand new one at the same price range.
- Radar Laser Cruise Control is the top choice!
- Door closer is another
- Variable Air Suspension with reduced coefficient of drag is added value.

That's true in US, but I believe a lot of LSs around the world are driven by chauffeurs.

The UL also has upgraded leather, roofline, laminated glass, air suspension, headlight washers.... i forgot what else.
In places like the Middle east, the UL package is standard on all LS430's, including the 18inch wheels. They are all pretty much equipped with the same options.

you get it because you can. the difference wholesale is only 3500 bucks. I am a gadget freak so I had to have it. I know there is no such thing as a bad ls 430 but if you can get the UL do.

I waited 6 months just to find a perfect used ls430 with UL. even though i can get a less equiped ls430 for a lot less but i still waited. I am only 24 but i still appreciated the added options of the UL. the rear cooler, rear and side shades are the other option you guys did not mention.
I think it is well worth the extra cash because I really enjoyed the extra staff.
