Paint is soft in these cars. Look for poorly done quickee repaint or touchs up on the front and back of car, particularly bumpers, hood. If there are parking sensors in bumper, make sure they haven't been coated with thick touch up paint. Also look for bad chips in windshield or tiny cracks that will likely expand - make seller fix it any glass defects - windshields are very expensive.
Look at tire date manufacture code on the tires - if the tires are more than 6 years old - even with remaining tread, make them replace the tires.

No defects or hidden things to watch out for. Also, according to long-term (3-year) owner surveys, the LS430 is the most trouble free car ever built. If you get one that's been taken reasonable care of, and hasn't been overly abused, it should give outstanding reliability.
