Bought my 2006 GS430 about 6 weeks ago, she now has 1100 miles on her. She’s fully loaded except for the radar.
First off I thought the price was a bit high but hey you only live once right?
The quality is second to none. I too was looking at the imports and they don’t compare if you know what your looking at. The ride is second to none, I love the sport option when I’m in the mood to race around town. There is quite a difference when you change the shock settings. Using the sequential shift is Fun! Fun! Fun! And there’s more then enough power to kick some butt!
As for the sound, if you get the Mark Levinson system its awesome! The 5.1 surround sound is Great! The DVD picture is nice, just wish the parking brake and motion system could be deactivated so my family could watch DVD’s when going on a trip. I’m still looking into that.
As for the wheels the stock 18" ers are very nice, I would not upgrade to the spoke if you ask me.
The only bad thing I could say about this car is the tire noise, its rather annoying at high speeds on worn asphalt, Ill change the tires one day.
I could easyly say a lot more good things about this car but gotta run.
Good Luck with your new car, I’m sure you will be happy!!!
