The most common complaint I hear is driver removal. Meaning that the cars are too quiet and you don't get the full driving pleasure and involvement as you do in a BMW. That argument is very accurate in my opinion. A 740IL is much more fun to drive than and LS. I also hate the engineering card. I always say the same thing as you guys. If the engineering is so great then why do they have so many problems?

2002 Lexus GS430 $10,800 Black Onyx on Beige. NO ACCIDENTS. 139k, ALL HIGHWAY. Completely optioned out. Mark Levinson, Navigation. This is a DEALER MAINTAINED CAR. It needs absolutely nothing. You can take it in to a dealer/mechanic and they will tell you that this a mechanically sound vehicle. New tires and pads in the past few months along with fluid changes throughout. Feel free to call with any questions. 317-658-2234 Please do not contact me asking if certain critical services have been done (ie timing belt) They have.

I've had it for about a year and a half now and I'm very pleased. Very trouble free car. Had to have the AC recharged. Other than that, maintenence as usual! I do miss having more room (LS400), but I guess you an't have everything. The grip is the best thing about this car even though it is damn powerful. Everybody who drives in it or rides in it comments on how sure footed this car is. It gives you a confident feel of the road. I never bought the aftermarket headlamps, although I might do a retrofit projector job some day. And I went with Kimberly :)

I am relisting the following parts. Here's the FYI 1. All prices are firm and non-negotiable. -I took an unbelievable amount of time developing this car and it shows with the condition of all parts. They are all adjusted to be under market value (Feebay, parts stores, etc.). Also, I have mentioned that I am planning on buying another one of these fine automobiles in the future. Therefore, I am in no rush to unload these parts, as I will use them later on the next car. 2. I will accept paypal -Nakamichi factory stereo. In wonderful condition. It has no fading anywhere. My car was garaged and after I bought it it was tinted with 5% and 35% on the windshield, so my interior never had UV attacks. Price set at $125 -Climate control Unit computer. Also in perfect working condition. I installed the updated LCD screen 2 years ago and as stated before, it had virtually no exposure from the sun to damage it. Plus this LCD is said to last longer than the factory one. Price set at $200 -Rear updated Euro tail lights. I love these, they look great with a black LS. These were installed mid '06. Very little wear, all gaskets are there. I might end up hanging on to theses as they seem to be harder to come by these days. Price set at $145 TAIL LIGHTS SOLD That is all. Hopefully this will help somebody out! -Nakamichi factory stereo. In wonderful condition. It has no fading anywhere.

can you use it toward service?

I can now see the photos..Thanks a lovely auto. I'll try to private message you now. Overpriced, seat tears, No Nakamichi Either, should be about 1500 less than listing. Good car, lower the price and it should sell

Nice car. Asking price is too high (especially considering it has no nakamichi). You should be able to pull in 7000-7500.

Its on the Thriller DVD. He goes on and on about how well made it is and then destroys it. If you watch closely when hes pushing the buttons you can see the LCD/Clock burned out. LOL, typical. *BLEEP* this dude, if all of these german cars are so great then why do they have so many problems??

I decided on Kimberly. The next LS I buy will be named "black Iris"

My last car was named Veronica. I am naming my black GS430 either Kimberly or Iris.

I only really know of one aftermarket housing that comes with a built in projector and thats the one that I currently have installed. They'll run you about $250 or so but they really feel chintzy compared to the OEM lamps. They do the job though. I wish i had some 430 power.... but i don't so most of upgrades are suspension oriented... if I ever actually get them installed. My gs3 has been named Bertha... idk why i let my ex gf name it. :( .. please pick something better than bertha... although that shouldn't be hard. Just think, if you had a Tundra you could wind up with Bertha and Bubba. :D I have decided to name her Kimberly or Iris. (The EMT that helped me after my accident was named Kim). Im going to start a thread for names. I'm also starting a thread for some of my LS400 parts.

I picked up a 2002 GS430 in black today. I thought about going back to the LS, but it just wouldn't have been the same. So I won't be posting in this section any more. Been great sharing stories with all of you. The LS really is the best of the Lexus line in terms of quality no doubt about it. One day I will buy another one (same year) and be back, just not this time around. Cheers! PS Mark Levinson<Nakamichi
