Flawless Lexus GS430 Is One Smooth Operator

Lexus GS430

The used, modified car market can be a scary and dangerous place. But there’s no hiding the quality of this incredible Club Lexus build.

There’s certainly no shortage of clean and classy builds around here in the Club Lexus forums. But they aren’t just limited to build threads, mind you. You’ll also find a number of incredible rides for sale in the Club Lexus Marketplace, including this gorgeous, well thought-out Lexus GS430, offered up by KuWuPt. Unsurprisingly, this particular ride didn’t take long to sell. But it’s so incredibly cool, we couldn’t help but share these amazing shots with you.

For starters, this Lexus GS430 is fitted with the desirable 3UZ-FE 4.3-liter engine, an option only available in 3rd and early 4th gen GS models. And with only 104k miles on the clock, you won’t find many cleaner examples out there. But what really separates this Lexus GS430 from the rest is the way it’s been treated and modified by the previous owner. The entire build thread is documented here, and it starts with some incredibly meticulous maintenance.

Where else can you buy a used car that has so much documentation? This isn’t your average maintenance log, that’s for sure. But this also isn’t the type of Lexus GS430 you’d find on some cheesy used car lot. Loads of high end components have been added to give it a one of a kind look and killer stance. It starts underneath, where you’ll find Ridetech air bags and D2 coilovers. The rest of the suspension has been upgraded with all-new Moog and Figs components so it rides and drives like new.

Buying a used car, especially one that’s been modified, can be a dangerous endeavor. You just don’t know if the previous owner took and shortcuts or half-assed the build. Until something breaks, that is. But there’s no faking quality here. Especially when you’ve got a highly detailed build history to back it up!
