the thing i want most on the 430 is the ML and nav, followed by the steering wheel. the thing i love most about my gs4, the throttle response and the eshift

Rominl -- you hit the nail on the head. In my opinion, the GS400 feels more like a performance sedan with an eye on luxury. The GS430 feels like a luxury sedan with a eye towards performance. That being said, my current car is a GS400 and my next car will be a GS430.

That's the thing I wanted a Nav and the ML was hard to pass by, that's why I bought the 430.

e shift is like the sport shift on the tl (i had the tl-s before). but isntead of using the shift ****, there are bottons on the steering wheel for shifting. the gs4 is a lot faster and more precise in the shifting than the tl imho. still nothing compares to a real manual, but it's still pretty good

ML is mark levenson, that's the audio upgrade since 2001, and it's just sick. for 01 it's not attached to nav, but since 02+, if you get nav you get the ML as well

Hi guys....newbie here. Just got my 1999 Diamond White gs400 with NAVI. AWESOME!!! I always admired these cars and now i finally own one. I would recommend this car to anyone. I can't stop looking at it. The lines are stunning and driving it is even better. Car is in perfect shape other than about 3 paint chips up front. Paid $18,000. Worth every penny and then some!!!! Reading all of your posts helped me pick out this car. Thanks sooooooo much.
