Hello everyone. Im new to this forum and wanted to just give a shot out. I have had my 2002 Lexus LS430 for about a month now and I really like it. Im coming from a BMW 7 series. I honestly liked the 7 series but the maintance is too much for me. Also the 7 series had a new problem every single week. But since I have had my LS430 I have had nothing but great reliablity. So coming from BMW to Lexus, is there anything I need to know about the LS 430? And also my LS has about 136,000 Miles on it. Is there any routine maintance I need to follow?

WELCOME!! TO CL and I also am currently driving a 02' Ls430. All I can say is since I switched from other v6-v8 2 door sports to 4 door cars is no comparison to a Lexus V8 Sedan. It's like a Japanese Benz but with less on maintenance and headaches. I got mine at a hi mileage as well and was 3rd owner of the LS, and overall since driving it for a little over a year I had no issues with it, and I kept up with my oilchange regularly, and just recently repleaced all new brake pads. I was also lucky that the timing belt was already replaced when i got the car.

Had my 01 LS since 2003, 80K miles later I only changed the brakes and tires...
Everything else is good and does not need work.
I have a 03 Cadillac Seville STS for three years now and it seems like I work on it every week.
