We have a 2005 LS430 -- base model with Premium package only -- since new, and I still drive it every single day. I have been lucky enough to avoid any accidents, etc. and have been pretty meticulous about keeping fluids and filters changed regularly. It still drives exactly the same as when new. The ride is every bit as good as people claim ... have owned two Mercedes S-Class's over the years and while I never had them at the same time so as to compare back to back, I definitely think the Lexus rides better. Every single little thing (and there are many!) on the Lexus works correctly. The car doesn't have a nav screen; you can just use your phone for navigation as it's dead simple to add Bluetooth capability to the stereo. It's the ultimate highway mile-killer. What's wierd is, it feels big but isn't all that big ... about the same size as a modern Camry, albeit quite a bit heavier. A very, very, very well designed car, to say the least.

Hello from a Cambodian living in Canada. I love this vehicle and am in the process of buying one (2002 model) with 170,000km listed for CAD$8,900. Will try to negotiate with the dealership to lower the price a little bit 😊

I really enjoyed your story. It really added to the video! The car is gorgeous; I love the color as well. I have an ES 350, and I love it. Take care.😊😊

Beautiful LS! Welcome to the club and enjoy!

Such a beautiful car! I notice while you were driving the cabin was so quiet. The car is a 2006 LS 430 and the interior has barely any outside noise.

Awesome video, also loved hearing your back story thanks!

Commented on your first video. WOW $6k is a steal ! Love the LS430’s. My 2002 ES300 w 178k miles is an amazing car, but when I retire in 3-5 years I might want to upgrade to one of these. The quality and reliability of Lexus is unparalleled. The LS430 is their best sedan ever built

Best car ever made

Very nice car,these are great to own,

Thanks for sharing.

You got a good deal.

Goated vehicle 🐐 🚗

You did well on the LS 430 acquisition. Interesting on the “6” being the first number on your license plates. Your story of being a refugee from Laos and on the 23rd it was the 35th anniversary of your coming to the USA (1988?) was very moving. Now look where you are! What a testament to the power of freedom. My grandparents came to America 113 years ago to escape oppression in Europe. And I had two brothers in the Navy in Vietnam. Great video. I am researching the best LS to buy. I was seriously considering the 460, but the 430 has been spoken of highly by mechanics. The 500 appears to have abandoned what made the LS such a great car. Now to find a 430 in the condition you found yours.

Love the color, thanks for the video. Is there tint on the car? If so, do you know how much percent?

Hey, beautiful LS430! I have a 2005 and I was wondering where did you get that steering wheel cover?

Hi there, I’ve been looking for an LS430. Hopefully I’ll find one as well maintained as yours. You’re a lucky man. You also mentioned buying your parts from an Arizona dealer. Who are they if you don’t mind? One day I’ll use them to get my parts too… thanks for the excellent videos! By the way, I live in Rocklin, I think near you too😁

How can you tell if a late 2005 LS430 has got the different 2006 features from the factory ,

I live in CA and like to order parts from Bell Lexus in Az for my 2005 Lexus ls 430. You mentioned about timing belt changed. How much was it. At my local Lexus dealer they quoted for me at $1995 for timing belt and water pump. And $500 for spark plugs.

nice Toyota Lexus 430 SUV # ❤️ the price extremely reaonable # 🇵🇰

@13:00 What's the Lexus dealer in Arizona that has the parts ? I have a 2004 and I had to buy two used front seats when I purchased my LS.

Nice car however you don’t put a steering wheel cover on this vehicle. No no no
