This 2005 Lexus LS430 represents the peak of Toyota’s flagship luxury engineering — a car that defines long-term reliability and understated excellence. Finished in Mercury Metallic over black leather, this example features the Modern Luxury Package ($4,980), which includes a Mark Levinson premium audio system, navigation, rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, climate-controlled front seats, heated rear seats, and Intuitive Parking Assist.

The Lexus LS430 debuted in 2000 as the successor to the legendary LS400, continuing the pursuit of absolute comfort and refinement. The first-generation (2001–2003) featured a 5-speed automatic and conservative styling, while the updated 2004–2006 model introduced the highly desirable 6-speed transmission, sharper exterior design, and numerous mechanical improvements.

Powered by the 3UZ-FE 4.3-liter V8, the LS430 is widely recognized for its near-bulletproof reliability and remarkably smooth power delivery. Known to exceed 300,000-400,000 miles with only basic maintenance — oil, brakes, and tires. Some examples have even reached 500,000+ miles. This platform has earned its reputation as one of the world’s best-built luxury sedans. The combination of rear-wheel drive, refined ride quality, and timeless aesthetics makes this LS430 a standout even decades later.

This LS430 spent ALL of its life in California which is a very favorable climate. The hot and dry climate is perfect for keeping rust and corrosion away. The exhaust is all original and leak free. Most underbody metal, nuts, and bolts are still clean, a rare treat for buyers in the Midwest.
