If you referring to the LS430 than both 04 and 05 are same tax - there are few 06 plated LS430s which fall into the higher tax bracket along with all LS460s. The LS600h are lower tax due to being a hybrid (although they have the biggest engine in the line up) back to topic on ls430 prices - they have recently seen a rise especially lower mileage ones this one was snapped up from a private seller - i think it was priced around 5k: 2004 Lexus LS 430 4.3 4dr | eBay Kass classic have an ls430 for £6990 2004 Lexus LS430 4.3 4dr Full Lexus Dealer History For Sale | Car and Classic or you can choose to have the ls400 for £7990 from the same dealer 1999 Lexus LS LS400 1 Former Owner 90,000 Miles Facelift For Sale | Car and Classic A very low mileage LS460 also commands a premium price £24K??? - compare the prices between these 2 - would you pay extra for the lower mileage: 2006 Silver Lexus LS 460 4.6 SE-L 4dr for sale for £9495 in Edinburgh, Midlothian (autotrader.co.uk) 14k miles LS460 2009 Blue Lexus LS 460 4.6 SE-L 4dr for sale for £24990 in Cobham, Surrey (autotrader.co.uk)

Now listed as an auction with no reserve!

These LS600 seem alot better value now

I’m sure this car was £10k originally

They probably were not genuine but that great value and others members have bought ebay ones with no qualms - I have a set on order for my 430. IIRC Lexus sell them for around £85 each - thats if they are still available !

Great looking car - thats the model I started with - its a steal at that price!

are you serious stveve? - i've just ordered some for my LS430 becuase mine are a bit lazy . . .

best to just replace with a used spare lots on ebay from £100 - £150

These rarely come up - there is a set for sale here: Lexus LS400 17” Alloy Wheels & Tyres | eBay

look up william barry sansome on facebook - hes a big fan of the LS and used to do weddings - not sure if he still does

I would add: as above running boards light tint on rear if not already done heads up display DRL - wrote up on this forum

Have you tried Tony Banks in leeds? He has a good reputation Here is his advert for LS430 exhaust LEXUS LS460 LS600 LS430 EXHAUST SPECIALISTS STAINLESS STEEL LIFETIME GUARANTEE | eBay

I once bought a mark 3 seat form a 50k mile car and the heated elements had already failed

saw that - looks very good in the pictures

If this a genuine advert then this is a bargain 2011 LEXUS LS 600HL AWD HYBRID RSR PACK | eBay

I wonder if they are a member? An LS430 for sale here 2001 Lexus ls430 v8 4.3 ulez compliant For Sale | Car and Classic - they state they are selling to go back to a 400

It would be painful for me to drive that as a daily - that cars only fit for a museum!

Already sold - let’s see if it re-appears looking and driving very nice indeed with FSH

Tyres are matching Dunlop Sports - 75% warn - I seemed to have the same problem on my old one aswell. Im just waiting a couple more months before I replace the tyres and then take it from there.

Good point malc - my 430 ones are starting to cloud at the top and infact I was googling the other for " glass lS430 headlights" knowing very well there is no such thing

Its a difficult one as everybody has different opinion on this one - the ultimate answer lies in you driving one! Mine is a facelfit with 18 inch wheels When I upgraded I thought the LS430 would be quiter and even smoother - its Not. In the LS430 the ride does not feel wallowy like in the LS400 and you may find that a negative. It fells well planted on the road though. Postitives for me: Modern looks and interior Keyless entry and starts - priceless Soft closing doors and boot - love that so much that I find normal door slamming annoying,. Smoother gear changes No thud when engaging Drive on cold start Materials and build quality is on par if not better and wears very well Best headlights (light up) I have seen Things to consider when buying: Delaminating windows applies on to pre-facelift exhaust in not stainless - backboxes tend to rust - mine is still original at 157k drivers side door rusts from inside steering motors tend to fail bonnet and boot struts are common failures If you are happy to address the issues like you mentioned then they are just as reliable - I have had 2 in 9 years and had no suspension issues. No electrical issues. For me going back to 400 would be a downgrade and I don't know what would be considered an upgrade from this car. Hope this helps

Just like the LS430 its located in the rear wheel arch accessed through the boot wee post by "Silkman" below no sound on radio - Lexus IS 300h / IS 250 / IS 200t Club - Lexus Owners Club

The green knob is a Quick Release Battery Clamp - You turn the knob to disconnect the negative. Probably installed to prevent the battery going dead if it wasn't driven regularly
