The GS300 is a great car. It simply doesn't have the horses or torque of the 430 or 350.

If you "really want a GS430," my opinion would be that you should keep looking until you find what you want. Buyer's remorse (or lingering envy over the choice not made) sucks.

what do you mean as far as features? theres some differences between all 3 models mainly the v8 in the 430 compared to the v6 in the 300 and 350. not to mention the brake and suspension upgrades.

As was said, there are some things that were not available on the 06 GS300. Check here http://www.lexus.com/cpo/model_library/GS/2006.html for comparison.

As far as searching used and options, 300s are going to run the gamut from stripped to loaded. 430s will tend not to be stripped. I'm sure they're out there, but I never came across one that didn't have navigation. It seems like many 430s were built with most of the options.

if you want a gs430, get that or the gs350. the gs300 will be too slow for you. and there are features absent on the gs300 as people pointed out

You're reading this, yes?

as has been said, if you're drawn to power don't get the 300.
