Beautiful car

I received this car 20 years ago but I garage stored it for the past 12 years. The car looks new and performance is excellent with very low mileage. Requires premium gas and a lot of it. In today’s economy I would recommend a hybrid Lexus.

Good car, not perfect

I love this car. But parts, repairs and maintenance are expensive. Also, transmission down shifting problem began at 145,000 miles. This is reported in blogs and most likely a problem in the ECM.

My Beautiful Protector

I love this car! She moves like butter, silent like a cat, dependable as armor, comfortable as an easy chair, and so lovely I can't help wanting to take care of her. She's 18 years old! Best investment I ever made.

Lexus LS430

Best car I have ever owned and I have owned lots of cars - I’m 90 years old. It’s a 2004, I purchased it new and it runs like new - very few problems because Motor Car Makeover takes good care of it- like it’s their own!

LS 430

The vehicle has an extremely smooth and quiet ride with more than enough power for any situation, and it boasts a very stylish interior. I always have a feeling of luxury and safety while driving. Great vehicle.

Best flagship sedan of all time?

I’ve owned my 430 for 7 years, and put over 100k miles on it. With scheduled maintenance and a few preemptive minor repairs, she has never not crunk, or left me stranded. No check engine lights, and everything works. Name another flagship sedan that has done that.

Wish I could keep it!

I am this car's 2nd owner. WHAT A CREAM PUFF! It drives GREAT. A sports car and a sedan all in one! Excellent pick up if you need it. The grey leather upholstery is clean and has no signs of wear. Plus there are lots of little spots to hold and organize your belongings. Engine is in perfect condition even though it has131,000 miles on it. The battery is literally brand new. The only problem is it needs a new key fob. If interested in purchasing, contact My Mechanic. The owner of My Mechanic, Rob Moynihan, sold me this car because it was in such good shape. Too bad the insurance on two cars is so expensive.

Best car I’ve ever owned

Best car I’ve ever owned. I didn’t buy this car until it was already 14 years old. I’ve had many brand new cars including leases where you just hand someone the keys for the entire time you have it and you don’t have to worry about anything. This car is like a spaceship I always say! It has not just heated front seats but also air-conditioned front seats. Heated backseats. And automatic sunshade in the rear window. Back up camera, Bluetooth, and built in GPS. Keep in mind this car is a 2004!

Great Solid Car

This is a well built solid car. It is a pleasure to drive and is extremely reliable. My only complaint is that it is a 2004 and some interior features are starting to break; but for a 15 year car, it is really a excellent vehicle and these are minor annoyances.

Wonderful vehicle still at near 200,000 miles!

I purchased my Lexus pre-owned with 30000 miles and have put on almost 170,000 myself and the car had been a dream. The only things I've had to do we're normal maintenance items. The only expensive item I had to replace was the air ride suspension due to age. Car drives like a new car now!

Fun to drive

If pickup is important to you, buy this car. I got a speeding ticket when I test drove the car. I love the way it handles. Torque is unbelievable for that size car. I am somewhat disappointed at the fact that it takes high test gas because I'm on a strict budget. I guess that's another price you pay for performance. I've only owned this car a couple of weeks and feel I haven't driven it enough to really give it a fair review, but this is my initial impression.
