The tail lights.
The 430 started in 2001 and had the thinner turn signals at the bottom of the lens. either this is a GS400 w/ 430 badging or a GS430 and the onwner liked the 400 tail lights or the rear was damaged

meanwhile all u have to do is run the VIN at your local stealership to find out what year this thing really is. Of course, anyone THIS dishonest wouldnt get my business anyway.
