New "Old" Member

[Mickey Monk]

Hi. I'm a new/old member i.e. I joined in 2008 when I owned a LS430. I sold the car a couple of years later for a Mercedes S500 and migrated to Merc forums. I've recently bought a 2001 GS430 which I intend to keep "forever" thus signalled my return here.

The GS430 which I bought last week off eBay has Lexus Owners Club Gold Member stickers.

Does anybody recognise the car and maybe provide some history.

Welcome back!  How was the LS430 in the time you owned it, how does it compare to the GS?  While I'm firing questions, how does Lexus compare to Mercedes in your experience?

Welcome. That's a beautiful GS you have.

The  LS is a luxury cruiser whereas the GS430 is a luxury bruiser.

The LS was flawless in the time I owned it. I think the Mercedes was much more stylish and also more of a status symbol than the LS
