2006 430 LS - it's 7 years old whereas I'm 61! I only go for stock. Nicest car I've ever owned and I'm planning on keeping it a long time.

I got my LS 430 as my first car when i got my licence at 16, my friends at school were mad jealous when they saw it, but when they took a ride in it, they went crazy for it. I also bought a 93 LS 400 last summer with 130,000 miles on it, midnight blue with blue interior. I use it as my winter car up in New York, where I go to college, and have my LS 430 back home in Florida.

Default Average age of LS430 Owners

Just wondering what the average age is. I'm 35 and I have been in the LS since 2011. I started off with a 99 LS400 and I have had my 430 for about 1.5 months now. Having sports cars and minivans in the past I really wish I knew how awesome there cars are years ago.

55, bought my LS new in '04.

Age gives me a frame of reference. Had a lot of cars over the years, mostly domestic, an exotic, trucks, etc.

The LS is in a class by itself in terms or engineering, reliability, quality of materials, thought. I don't know how many billions Toyota spent on development, but it shows. I think everyone else is just starting to catch up.

coming from an 06 IS350

its one smooth ride thats for sure but damm the mileage sucks astronomical buttocks! kinda miss the driving feel of the IS350. maybe when i throw some coils it should improve the driving experience, i surely hope so.

Congrats! The LS430 was designed to have total road isolation from the driver, nothing but a cushy cloud like ride, it is not a sports seden or have the Euro driver feedback. The car is doing its job also welcome to V8 life, the 430 will really shine on hwy/roadtrips far as MPG's.

I'm 26 currently driving my 2006 LS430 only 75k miles on the odometer. Finally got around to installing my Airlift Air Suspension, ADV-1 wheels, and waiting for it to be returned to me this Friday after 3 weeks in the body shop.
