My lease on my '01 GS430 runs out in November. I just got a letter from Lexus saying they would forgive the rest of my lease payments if I leased a new Lexus before mid-September. What are the changes to be expected for the '05 LS430? A friend just leased an '04 LS and loves it. I hadn't considered an LS, but I'm not thrilled with the GS redesign. I'm also a little nervous about picking up a 1st year car, even if it is a Lexus.
I can't answer your question, but I can bump your thread
Since the 2004 LS430 was such a big overhaul from the 2003 model, I can't imagine the 2005 getting many changes other than a few color options. If that's the case, I would wait for the 2005 model to come out, and then get a 2004 LS430 at a nice discount...
I don't see 2004 as really a first year, it's still the same basic LS430 that come out in what.. 2001? Mainly cosmetic changes and a 6 speed auto. I think you can be confident about picking one up.
