I'm a proud owner of a 05 silver/black 430
I think it's got more to do with the $10K + premium over the 300.

^ Agreed. Lexus priced the 430 (fully loaded) at $58k, I remember some lots tried to sell it for $60k...

Thanks Tony, '04's and '05's are identical. In technical, all the '05's were made in '04 cuz they begin making the 3GS in late '04 for Model Yr '06. So, they're the same except classification of year.. hahaha

Though it seems Nice, check the Car-fax its a 2-Owner car and it has mileage inconsistency.. last reported before Lexus of Palm beach it had 59,552 miles and now it has 34,262 ?? Buyer Beware..
