Changing the pads on a LS430 is extremely easy and I changed my front/rear pads at 78K miles and they still had at least 10K left in them.

I also think paying $23K is at the high mark for this car. If its perfect and does not need anything other then fluid changes, then I would expect a $20-22K price. Private sale on the low end of this range. Good luck with your purchase.
