2003 Lexus LS 430 4.3 petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Pure luxury

Faults:

Battery replaced.

Cosmetic issues (rust here and there, but not excessive or beyond repair).

Bought used last year, the car has a large history file, looks to have had no major problems but a lot of wear and tear parts replaced as expected for its age.

General Comments:

Big, powerful, luxurious, I love this Lexus.

Beige in colour, 2003 model. Not the best looking generation in my opinion, but a fine looking car nonetheless.

Interior is just perfect (for me) ergonomically; I find it amongst the best cars I have ever had the pleasure to drive.

You can buy them cheap now, but they are very expensive cars to run.

This is my first Japanese luxury car, and I would say it's better than my old Audi A6. And that's saying something.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
