Actually there is an 07 GS430. GS460 was launched in 2008 model year. However 07 GS430s are very rare because the GS350 was too close in performance and killed GS430 sales.

New car depreciation on the 3GS is horrible from my experience. Best bang for the buck would definitely be the GS350. There are 07 GS430's out there but they are very few and rare. As far as 60-120, the GS430 is not that much faster than a GS350. The GS430 runs out of breath when you're trying to go from 60 to 120 pretty quick. GS460 on the other hand, that's a different story.

i might have to say the 430. it doesn't have direct injection. while no one will know until much much later, but over time direct injection can introduce clogging in the lines. just my 2 cents, again no one knows until another 4-5 years i guess
but the 430 doesn't have close to as good of gas mileage of newer setup, so that's a toss

More fuel efficient V6 would be easier to sell I think, V8 will probably hold up better for reasons rominl described. Net that across higher fuel costs.
If you actually have option to buy either one as an 07, I would go and have a look, and buy whichever one feels and drives better. If you are asking theoretically, then good luck trying to find an 07 GS430!

I recently had this same problem, which to go with? I ended up going with the V8 and i'm quite happy with it. The sound of the engine and exhaust note puts a big grin on my face whenever i open it up. Plus I drive a Lexus V8 so i am inherently a badass. If it's the same price and you don't mind the mpg (i don't) you'll be happier with the 430.
