Hello, new to this forum. I have a 92 LS400 that just turned 200,000 miles. Before that I had a 91 that also went 200k before I traded it in on this one.

I am a master mechanic & have serviced both cars meticulously. The 92 has just gotten a new timing belt & water pump along with a major tune up last year. It has now developed a front seal leak so I am going to have to tear it back down to replace that before I sell it. It is a great car, but I think it is time to go. Anyone want a nice LS?

Anyhow I am looking at an 01 GS430 as an upgrade. I really like how smooth the ride on the LS is, & want to keep a smooth ride in whatever I buy. Can anyone tell me how an 01 GS430 would compare to a 92 LS400 as far as ride quality goes? Also any other comparisons would be appreciated too! Thanks!

 

Maybe an 1 - 03 LS430 would be better?

 

my buddy has a an 02 ls430 and i think its great, my other buddy has a 2000 gs which is also smooth but in my opinion i like the ls430 over the gs

 

Both are excellent choices and they have their characteristics to deal with. The LS430 would be my pick.

 

Yup LS430 UL. Enough said.

 

Well I got my "new" lexus. I bought an '02 GS300. It only has 37,000 miles on it, & after I traded in my LS, & gave them $2000 down, I only paid $10,000 for it! SMOKIN deal!

 

Wow, 36,000 miles! Were are you finding all these low mileage Lexus'??

 

Believe it or not, it was at the Lexus dealer. Im surprised too, but glad I found it!

 

post some pics? con grats!
