This car is a timepiece. I have so many childhood memories when this car was THE car to get in the Japanese luxury car market. Around this time, Acura wasn’t much of a conversation. Not to mention 2004 - 2006 were the best version of the LS 430 in my opinion.
It's crazy how great the cars of early 2000s were. Cars like the 2005 Nissan Maxima had 3D navigation, panoramic sunroof, powerful engines, BOSE audio, backup camera, 6CD changer, etc. Most brands had amazing choices.
The older Lexus LS cars were THE chauffer's car to get in the flagship luxury sedan class at the time. I mean this is what made Lexus famous when they came out in the late 80s, early 90s. Also, look at that wood trim that just adds to the elegance.
I have a 1988 Toyota Camry base model 5 speed. It's really quiet, even at 80+mph on the highway. But this, you can hear a pin drop. It's ridiculous how quiet this car is, it just makes you feel like your in your very own world
Small ass world lol I’m out fairfax va right now grew up out dumfries looking for a Lexus ls430 me personally I prefer the 06 ls430 to the 07ls460 bc of the wood grain way more luxurious in the older models keep it up brodie 😎😎💪
Was interested in buying this one but we couldnt see it in time before it sold. Now looking at another one in the area but $3k more for low 100k miles.
That’s actually slow. These can do 5.7-5.9. This one may not have been filled with premium fuel. If regular fuel is used the computer will reduce power slightly.
@@DMCarReviews Thanx bro been subscribed and look forward to many more of your videos especially Mercedes Benz cars and Lexus Cars my two favorite car makers Lexus for my number one Japanese car make and Mercedes being my number one German car maker 🤝😎🫡
He could have beat that 0-60 by going into manual mode Down to 5.9 seconds 0-60 Starting 1 st gear and up shift at red line to get the best time Awesome experience For such a huge car. And in virtual silence too….
Q50 probably last old school japanese sedan. Analog gauges, no ipad layout both screens integrated into the centre console, physical controls. If only it was still NA

Infiniti had no real good cars aside from g at this time
This thing back in 2004 had more features than my 2014 car has!! Crazy.

Beautiful 3uz, timeless

That is very true!
Nice!! Currently own a 04 ES which is the best car ive own but definitely want to upgrade and experience the LS430 soon
Great choice!

Yeah, they can be a challenge to find.
13:15 just a new Lexus LS 500 chillin there
That 0-60 time was a LOT faster than i expected, fewfff what a racecar ... lol. I expected like 6.6 or 7.0 flat
Yeah, it's very quick!
@@DMCarReviews and it's got a crazy growling sound when under hard acceleration, love it !

Try the GS450h - 0-60 in 5.7 seconds , mine is super quick off the mark
One of the best color combinations and wood trim same as my 2005 ES330 but a bigger version so beautiful
It's a great combination!
I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 and that’s why I’m never getting rid of mines 💎😍🥰
Nice!

My is250 is old school. Real woodgrain, similar touch screen system to that.
That sounds nice and it is a nice car, how much you think that car would cost
I think they are asking $6,500?
I have an 05. Best car ever
Oh my God, I actually bought that exact car from them in February!
What?!! This specific LS430?

It would be hard to do 5.9s.
Sport mode and manual shift and you may hit the 5.9. I saw a video with someone who did 5.94 on the 05.

Yes! Comments are happy:)) 458am screenshot
Those are reliable too. Thankfully Renault wasn’t allowed to ruin Infiniti reliability in the earlier models.
@@Mabeylater293 It's a shame the 7 speeds weren't as smooth as they could be and the fact that they used drive by wire steering.
I wish i had that for a first car
hey whatsup with that rpm bouncing weird, I have the same car the rpm always bounces down fast then up like that lol any concerns?
Just the way they are ahah
Need to do wheel-alligment. Just look at position of the steering wheel.
I love when people speed just to make TH-cam videos. Good times.
3:58 bodies... not suitcases..
You can pretty much fit in anything in that trunk
@@DMCarReviews you can stuff 2 fat people in the trunk of that thing, holy
Is it just me or is the tachometer kind of jerky and weird? Really nice car tho!
They are known to have that tachometer bug. I've seen many do that.
13:14 That was an LS500 in front of you
As he rips his friends car engine apart with 0-60 driving.
Nothing bad about 0-60's
too bad lexus made like only 1 wagon and that was a is
Repair will put you in the poor house
These are very reliable cars.
Not really
06 owner here. i hit a pothole, check engine light on. then turns off for good. never been garaged. 170k. powertrain still smooth and quiet
