I agree. I like both styles but 430 has it all.

For the same price LS430 is obvious price, I find it odd they would be same price at 50K miles though.

Agreed condition being equal, the '04....but if there's something special about the 400, that could be interesting too, I have seen them driving on the road....

Last year, I sold my 1998 LS400 that was in really good condition.

Bought a 2004 LS430 - never looked back.

More power, more quiet, more luxury, more technology...

Pretty much a no brainer... The 2004 LS.

$8500 The car overheated and damaged the engine at 180k so their mechanic bought 50k mile engine, shown in a running mode and did a new timing belt and tensioner, water pump, serp belt, spark plugs, radiator, all fluids. All of the brakes are new as well.
