I'm 27 now. Got my first LS430 at 22 on a 3-year lease. I own my current LS.

I think the average age for this car will be lower on CL. In real life, Lexus says it's majority-driven by people over 45, making upwards of $150,000+ per year. A definite "executive-type car". I can't remember where I saw that figure, but it sticks with me, as I always wondered why I am attracted to a car designed for older folk.

Interesting topic to say the least.

Me i'm 27 owned a GS300 Sport Edition at 25. And financed a LS430 last year. So they say this is a 45 year old's car huh? I beg to differ!!!

So majority of members here are younger or mid age!
Who said we can't enjoy LS430. Some of us also mod the hell out the it too!

Forums like this are mostly for people with car issues (so asking if they are reliable could be biased) or "tech savvy." So asking this questions here, you might an incorrect gauge of age. I still think the demo for the LS is for 40 and older. I hope to join the group soon, but I'm 38. just BELOW the average... ha ha.

I know, but all I care is to see what's the ages for CL members who have LS430.

It is interesting to see that there are so many "under 25" who drive the LS series. Honestly, I've never really seen anyone younger than mid 30's driving the LS. When I was in my early to mid 20's I would not have been caught dead driving an LS. I mean at that age, with $25-35K to kill, most "kids" would get a ricer with a fart can attachment, but I guess the LS is for the more sophisicated car owner, which I was not when I was in my 20's.

It's good to see that Lexus has managed to capture the young crowd too with their "used" car market atleast, which typically leads to more future sales too.

32 here... my only complaint is that the LS is sporty enough, I guess I need the LS460L (haven't test driven it yet, but I assuming it's sportier now then my LS430 UL) at least thats what I hoping...

Probably one of the few... I doubt many of these <18 year olds paid a dime toward theirs [insert bs responses here...]

I'm 45 and this is my 2nd Lexus. First was the 2000 Platinum Series GS300 and soon after moved up to a luxury car with my 2001 LS430. Wish I bought the UL model but did not have the funds at the time. Am waiting for my Sustec 5 Coilovers to arrive though. I still feel like I'm in my 20's and buying myself a Gravity skateboard today to keep in my trunk for vacant parking lots. Age is all in your head, olnly you body gets older but not your mind.

Nope, LS460L with the touring package aren't any sportier then LS430 UL.

LS430 sport is the most sporty LS so far out of all the LSs.

If you really want sporty, GS is your answer.
