Default Need help deciding purchase!

Hey all! I have a choice of buying a 2006 Lexus GS430 or an LS430 2004-2006. I am having a problem on which one to get. The price range is in pretty much the same. Thanks in advance!

if the price and mileage is comparable, no question in my mind the 2006 LS 430. Its more car for the money all things being equal.

GS > LS

if it were an LS460, i'd go for it.... i had the same choice also... but i stuck with the GS, since it was more of an "updated" vehicle... the LS is sweet don't get me wrong, but i dont an 06 is worth 26k+ (if that's how much the one you're looking at goes for)

then again, that's just my opinion =]

They are completely different cars. You should test drive them. GS is more sportier ride. The LS is more of a limosine ride with softer suspension.

I would buy the LS, its a much better design car and no rattles like the GS.
