Update. I went and saw the Lexus dealer last week and they told me I couldn't test drive because it wasn't done with inspection yet. The salesperson was supposed to call me when it was ready to drive. Today I was informed it was sold. I'm disappointed. I drove the one at Toyota and was not impressed with the sport suspension. Not particularly firm but a bit more jarring. The search continues. I can't think of any other cars in the $15k range with this level of refinement and reliability. Any other suggestions? Maybe a newer ES?

I'm not a fan of the 460's personally. The ride and reliability of the 430 appeals to me more.
Now the choice for me is, do I spend about $2k on restoring the suspension in my '98 ES300 to OEM spec and have no car payment? Or buy an '06 LS430 and have a (albeit small) payment for 36 months. I also have a BMW that has to go no matter what I do.
