Default considering LS430

Hello. I have an SC430, and I am considering an LS430 for a daily driver. I do not want air suspension. How can I tell if a car has air suspension, either in person or from advertisements of cars some distance from me?

Moved to ls430 forum.

look for the height button and sport button on the lower center stack. Most ls430s don’t have air, just ultra luxury and I think some custom I think.

Ultra Luxury models all have air, none of the other trims have it. Unless the previous owner of an UL model replaced the air shocks with conventional struts - somewhat common by now. A private party add will almost always mention that if it has been done. not so with a dealer. Another clue - if you look at the front of the car and do not see the headlight washers it cannot be a UL and therefore will not have air suspension.

Another tell tale sign of it's a UL with air suspension is if it has the memory seat buttons near the interior handles on the rear doors.
