Hello all, I am currently looking for a car. At first I told myself I was going to get a 2nd gen gs. Now I am considering getting a ls430. I admit I havent read all the threads on the ls430 section but I have read some. Is there anything I should watch out for? I read something about air suspension if i opt for the UL package. Then there is the rear sub behind the rear seat. I dont know anything else. Regarding maintenance, since it is the same engine in the gs430, I will be checking for the 90k service ( timing belt, water pump, etc) Any suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated. Help me know what to look out for and whether you would pick the gs430 or ls430? Thanks everyone.
