In Dubai every teenager to older people wants own a Lexus LS 430 and even though locals have more expensive and luxury cars they roll around in LS430. Every next car to a house in Fujairah state of UAE is a Lexus LS430 even after 20 years.

Thanks for reviewing my car, always the coolest reviews on the web.

Man all the Lexus models from that era are so beautiful.

Pretty amazing how much tech this car had for its time period. I also definitely recognize the area you filmed in was Plainfield, IL. But great review, and definitely very thorough and detailed!

If i knew this car existed before i got my first car i would look for one everywhere till i find one

I currently own an '01 UL and the radar adaptive cruise is in full working order. To put it lightly, the system was WAY ahead of its time. A car merges in front of me? No problem, the car will slow itself down all the way to about 30 mph. The car in front of me speeds up? LS430 shoots right back up to cruising speed which can be set all the way to 85mph. You can cruise on an express way with medium traffic and never have to touch a pedal, its absolutely incredible.

my G, The level of quality you bring to this video is amazing, from the car to camera work to angels and editing its all amazing. Thank you for the most satisfying videos on KZfaq

'L'evinson for the audio. Awesome sounds systems to date

love my 2001 UL. I've had it a bit over 1 year now. it even came with aftermarket air suspension :) I'm always driving to different places because of work (construction), and this is the perfect daily to do just that. comfortable, quiet, nice interior, runs strong and has good pull for being a 20y/o car...and it looks nice. what more could you want

Here in 2022, as a buyer. The resounding support and love of this car in the comments of your video just highlight the buyers confidence I have for an excellent purchase. Great review to be fair. Very concise and meticulous. Regards.

Honestly man, saw this video a few months ago, and remembered you and have been looking for your channel for the past 30 minutes. Remembered when I saw you with the LS 430 video and now I found your KZfaq channel again I’m a KZfaqr myself and I love the way you review cars, I’m subscribed and I’m taking notes… good job my man

I love this generation Lexus LS430. I like the sport package one with the five spoke wheels

Awesome job explaining the LS 430, but the one feature no one talks about are the puddle light features ( you know the lights under both rearview outside mirrors ). I own a 2001 LS 430 also and I love it.

Great review, thanks for pointing out the upgraded console too!

There's one for $8700 with 59k miles and I'm legit thinking about looking at it. I drive a 2013 Ford Focus SE with a manual but it just doesn't have the greatest power as far as passing and it's starting to fall apart. The LS430 looks beautiful and it seems to do really well in snow with snow tires, even better than my Focus. And the fact you can increase ground clearance makes it much easier.

This is amazing! Loving the lexus content! I have the sc430 and it’s very smooth (very expensive to keep on the road however)

I was planning on buying one of these, and watching this video cemented my decision. I am going to buy one.

My 04 is hands down the best car I've ever owned

Great review. This really is a world-class sedan that showcases Toyota’s perfectionist mindset. It’s undeniable while MANY have thrown the monicker, “greatest car ever built.”

Outstanding car review. So very professional.

been really interested in your content, i first found out about it from the 05 scion xb stock video. this video and last video has been great, wish you the best

2001-2006 Lexus LS430. Greatest car ever made. Nothing beats that Car! Nothing!

love the video. this channel needs much more subscribers

Best view I enjoy and more informative then other thanks buddy ❤️❤️

I want a black on black LS430 so bad. Great review!!

This car looked SEVEN years ahead of its time compared to its competitors when it was released in 2000, I swear.

Best review on ls430 ever ❤️

Definitely getting this before the end of the summer

I saw one of these last night at Home Depot, really clean and thought man brings me back to my childhood, then I saw this video pop up, weird

Great review!! I own this same car. Changed the timing belt at 101,000. I'm at 135,000 5 years later. I want something else but this car spoiled me. Can't think of a reason to replace it.

Ayyyyy same car as me! Mines a ul too. 340k and its in the same condition as the one reviewed minus a little bit of paint wear

Thank you for recommending the aftermarket Rhino. LS 430 is super quiet I often don’t hear firetrucks/ ambulances until they are a couple yards away!!

One of the best automobiles in existence

Great review. Thanks.

Great review Zach as always! Not that it matters, but the sound system is Mark Levinson :) :P

I seriously love my 2003 Ls430 , the way it handles for a vehicle of its size , the quality build of the vehicle and features and the fact that it has aged so well with no issues mechanical etc , I also love the fact that I pretty much had the vehicle given to me as I paid $2,650 for it it was elderly owned by a Japanese gentleman and meticulously taken care of, the leather etc looks like a brand new vehicle still, the only small thing that doesn't work is the button on the trunk but it still opens from the key fob and the button pop on the dash , Toyota/Lexus made an amazing vehicle for it's time that still looks great today. Great review by the way thanks for making it.

Great review! Great car! Looking at used Mercs and now Lexus. This is definitely a top of the list car now! (sidenote: the audio is Mark Levinson-the L is part of the M)

I have driven an LS430 what a great car.

Great video..the best one I've watched for this car..Im sold and the money these days what a great timeless car..I'm sold and it is not platic,,its just classic.

Great car! Lexus makes quality stuff. I have a small tiny Lexus. A 2008 Lexus IS250. Still runs great and super reliable. My parents however have the generation of LS after this one. The LS460. What a lovely car that is also. Have you had the chance to review the model after this, the LS460?

Great coverage. FYI rear Seat massagers have a continuously variable switch. Oscillating vents. They are controlled according to the temperature set independently on the driver side and the passenger side They can change the degree of oscillation corresponding to the different set temperatures for each front seat passenger. For example, if I want warm for the driver and the passenger wants cold air, it will only isolate the warm air on my side without a full sleep. Similarly only isolating the cold air on the passenger side. When you equalize the temperatures, the vents will get a full sweep, side to side synchronistically. Much more sophisticated than most people realize. The system is so good that you can put out 90° on the driver side on the lower level foot well and side window upper ven for driver and then 60° on the passenger side upper vents. Thats pretty nifty. My Benz only suggested a 5* variation. If you set it in bi-mode, feet and cabin vents, it will send the heat to the warmer side lower level and one window vent. The cooler side, upper vents only, one Center and one window. In the U.P. Specked version(ultra premium luxury level) an independent rear seat controls system is manipulable as well with roof side window vent for A/C Remember the rear seat console has heat A/C controls and electric seat heater. Furthermore the rear window has the filtration fan integrated in the complex system. It has mixed A/C + filtration settings up front also. Had a 400, own a 2001 LS 430 UP and a 460, L awd, 2010. Executive package without seat dividers console, rare specifications, has a TV between rear seats, integrated on to the front Console. DVD. Hooked on KZfaq 15 years. Never have encountered anyone who truly conceptualize the system. I dint explain it all for the 430. My 460 has 3k pages of owners manuals. I don’t think I’ll ever master it. Ugh. Lol. But it turn me on knowing the potential.

I love my silver 2002 ls430 its been very reliable to me I also have the ls460 as well

My next car for sure =) Regards from France Take care =)

This... Will be my next car in a few years.

Cool !!! I love LS 430, comfy !!

The rear seats don't really massage as much as it vibrates.

That is a beautiful car!!

Great review on this LS430. They are a fantastic car indeed.

my fav car! i was balling with this when i was young ..i remember the vent use to move left n righr ..best car!

Proud to be a ls 430 owner

I drive an 01' GS 300 which I Love at it's 205k but that LS is just gorgeous.

I agree with you 100%,

I'd love to get one of these someday, specifically a facelifted 2004-2006 model with the upgraded 6-speed auto.

Great video l always felt the LS was one of the best cars ever made. It surpassed the Mercedes Benz W124 of fast, and to me it’s still ahead of it.

Very Cool Car!!

Good thing these are cheap in my area, I'm going to buy one of these as a first car

I appreciate the review. I'll be in the car market over a year from now. I'm torn between a used Lexus LS and a Tesla.

We have a 2004 UL we bought new . Only problem is that Mark Levinson amp

Except for the year (my car is an 03) it looks identical. My LS430 has 50K on the clock. There is not a mark on the exterior or interior. What amazes about the LS430 that even though my car is 18 years old it still holds up very well in regard to technology. The interior of my LS430 has the interior upgrade KKG W/Semi Aniline Leather. On top of the Ultra luxury package it cost over two grand more. I think the LS430 is one of the best cars ever made regardless of price. If you find one buy it. Don't let high mileage scare you away. Just make sure that you get maintenance records. Good video by the way. Cheers.

Awesome car!

My 05 UL (1 of 556 made that year) has 165k on the clock and is still so buttery!! Even after the 50k miles I’ve put on her🔥🔥

I Own This Exact Car In Green! Only Thing I’ve Had To Replace Is Control Arms & O2 Sensor. My Daughter Loves The Massage Seats Lol. Only Has 108k My Dad Still Owns His 94 LS400 He Bought In 1995! Has Only 83k!

Don't have the ul, I have package right under that, but it's the best I've ever driven and I love my 2005 ls430

I really wish cars today were still made as good as this. 😢

the audio loudness needs to be normalized, its all over the place, solid review nonetheless.

I have an LS430 UL and I love it! Btw I have an 2002

Those Lexus gauges aren’t “plastic” backgrounds… they’re LED light up gauges when you start up the car, just like my 97 ES300

What brand and model of replacement touchscreen does your LS430 have?

Where did you get the aftermarket bezel with touchscreen?

i have the jdm celsior 65th klms same as ls430 awsome car they just age gracefully its 20yrs old but looks current

My biggest concern with buying an ultra luxury is the stock radio. It’s garbage so it’s a good relief that after market radios can have the software for the climate controls

Where did You found the stereo for the Lexus LS 430 and do your ac still work.

I just got one and I love it! Only 85,000 miles on it.

Levinson not Evinson… he builds some of the best audio on earth..

Revving up the seat sounds like the THX sound and logo

Some tips: the volume on your speaking its super loud on the entry clip

The only negative I find (and my wife also) is that after 15 - 20 minutes the seat bottoms literally become insufferable PITAs. IDK what the solution is; is it reupholstery or replacement with something like Recaro? And would replacements even interface with Lexus electronics?

Dream car

Have you done a review of an LS460L. I have an 2014 ls460l and would be interested in your thoughts. I kind of regret not getting an LS 430 at half the price.

hey man l am looking to buy a 2001 model 430 one it says it has supspension problems but all the parts are included do l have to look out for somtihng l am in holland the car also so not in ameica

How is the massage function ? Do you even feel anything ?

what in dash are you running?

That's cool that all the wood used is from the same tree per car

Radar crews was on the 1986 Nissan maxima thanks Doug demaro

I like the ls430 but I’m preferential to the F sport. The luxo boxes are nice but it’s a little sedate. I like the radar option which my ls460f doesn’t have. I missed that and lane assist from my Infiniti I had. The dependability of the Infiniti was the reason I went back to Lexus. I had GS450H at one point. I’ll prob go to the LC500 when those get older. I stay away from turbo 6 cylinder. Bad decision for Lexus to convert the LS to that engine. My two cents

i want one of those...

What is the current fuel consumption of this car?

Holy shit this car is incredible

Do they make them in awd I need awd

I want this

Thank you for the review. Could Paul, the owner, get the radar adaptive unit fixed from a local mechanic rather than spend $2000 to have the Lexus dealership fix it?

its timeless bc even today it looks amazing and people still like it. not bc its a box 20 years later. i love the car but yeah. the ls400 is timeless 430/460 loss the edge

COMPARISON TO Phaeton, A8 same era ????

I love my 430 but definitely don’t think it gets a pass with the cup holders lol

Did I miss it? How much did he pay

Just seen one on fb market I might get it

Mark Evinson speakers? Never heard of them, must be a new brand 😄

I have non UL 2005. Everything is good except the Locks do not work anymore and it is extremely expensive to fix those.

You didnt cover the sunroof

the reason i click on the this video cause thought you word going to step on it
