sorry to say,,,,, I had a 2001 ls430. I now have an 04 LS 430.... SO far the 2001 was the better car by a land slide....
I got stuck when the fuel pump crapped out.
the tranny had to be replaced ( recall)
then the fuel pump had to be repaced again ( recall)
the car has NEVER been as smooth as my 2001 ( see throttle tip up on this board)
Now they tell me the tranny has to be reprogramed to smooth it out ( throttle tip up)
& now they are changing the DVD in my Navigation system. ( some recall thing)
Now I realize these thing happen,,,,,BUT they have never happened to a lexus of mine before.
This is our 5th one..... If I knew then what i know now, I MIGHT have kept the 01 ls.
It was THE best car I have Ever had..... This one does not measure up...........yet.
