I think your car deserves it's own thread here or something. This is the second time I've read about it and I'm always mentioning it when the question is raised about the reliability of these things. You are proof of how dependable these cars are. Three hundred and thirty three thousand miles is no joke...not many cars can do that with as little problems as your car has had. Christ! Even my old Honda Accord has had more go wrong with it than that - and I consider it to be one of the most reliable vehicles ever built.

Speaking of oil devh, I decided I'm going to go with the Toyota 0w20 from here on out, I can get it for $60 dollars a case. I figure you and everyone around here raves about it and at that price...why not?

Not to take anything away from the 430 and except for some minor nuisances I going to speculate a wild guess that these cars will set a new standard for core reliability which will surpass the 430.
What I look for in core reliability is the power train and practical reliability aspect of not being a write off at high millage.
Cars like BMWs become a write off once one of the major components fail for the given cost to keep it going.

Like I said before Toyota seems to have a long game strategy with repeat buyers. I bet the reason why we don't get Panasonic batteries anymore is for some ridiculous import restriction loophole. This is why BMWs are partially built to 85% to avoid import fees.

2007 purchased new. 44K miles, zero problems. Waiting for Lexus to drop the predator face for the next redesign, will buy again then.

I'm not a big fan of how the new ones look either, too me they look just like the new ES 350. In fact I'd say the ES 350 looks a little better, because it's sleeker, yet you can tell it's bigger than ES 350's of years past.

07 with 60xxx. No problems at all except warped rotors which my Toyota dealer turned at no cost since I bought a set of tires from them. Completely satisfied with service at my Toyota dealer and the car. Going to keep it for a long time. Its as good as my previous LS 430 .

The engines and transmissions are fantastic. Some issues with the 07 and 08 models but it seems the suspension is where your main cost will be. As they age the cost of the arms will come down. This is good because there are so many on the 460.

Here we go again. You've been challenged before on this (unanswered I might add). PLEASE tell us all what issues these are.

Mobile one for the second owner who put the majority of the miles on it. That's what I have used since the 80's.

Would you mind letting me know what was your oil change intervals with the LS? I realize you didn't put all those miles on it, but I'm curious.
