Hello boys and girls: after a long time of not posting on here, I am faced with a good problem. I have owned
my 98 LS400 for about 2.5 trouble free years. During that time, I've put about 25K on her and have had nary
a problem, with the exception of replacing the alternator, tires, and front shocks.
My Dad recently retired, so I passed on the car to him to use. He loves the car and it couldn't be easier for
him to drive. Which leaves me in an enviable, yet somewhat tricky position. What car to replace the LS with.
I have contemplated several other Lexus, so with that said, I was looking for opinions on those of you who
have owned the LS400 and other models as well. Here are the other models I have contemplated (though
not test driven yet).
LS430 - from what I have read, this is all the LS400 (98-00) is, with perhaps a bit more luxury and creature
comforts.
GS430 - in my brief browsing of this site, I have read some describing this car as being a cross between an
LS430 and GS400. Not having driven one, I cannot attest to that, but it does sound appealing.
OK, let me put the question to all of you Lexus enthusiasts. If it were you, what car would you choose, and why.
Give me your favorite color for that particular car, and some highlights of what you like about that model.
I'm eager to learn more, so feel free to indulge me. I look forward to the dialogue.
