Bad Ass LS400! I Have an 05 custom LS430 42k Miles. i am the original owner . These cars are the best. UZ engines are bomb proof. The few Issues of the 400 was addressed in the 430. Build wise The 1UZ was a little stronger than the 3UZ of the 430. It used a little stronger Rods. Both engines will go over 500K. The UZ motors are also aviation certified. Thats how good they are. The sport suspension was the "F" Sport back then. The ride on the regular 430 is better than the sport and the difference between it and the Ultra is really undetectable in my opinion . The steering wheel motor is still available but yes $$$$. All parts are expensive. If you have the soft close door the actuator is almost 2K for it and there are 4. They typically go out one after the other. These cars are a gem and anyone who knows about them don't let them go. They are strong with good Torque and gearing so they are deceptively quick for a big car. Ill never get rid of mine and i also have a 2024 ES 350 and Love the LS more.
Thanks bro! You got a gem yourself with only 42k miles. I loved my LS it treated me good from the short time I had it. Maybe one day I’ll get another one. Thanks for watching 💯💯
The 4.3 liter engine is faster than the 4.0 liter engine 😅😅😂😂😂
@@Boogieman_1989Garbagefrom a HP standpoint it is but the 4.0 in the LS400 was as fast if not a little faster than the 4.3 of the 430 due to other factors. In the exact same configuration (gearing, car, tranny etc) i agree the 4.3 will be faster. the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile of both these cars are almost the same.
First, the second generation 400, from 1995 through 2000, is 250 lbs. lighter than the first generation 400 with a bump in horsepower to 290, which is 40 horsepower more. Second, the 430 has 290 horsepower, not 300, which is the same as the second generation 400. Third, even though the 400/2 uze engine is a 4l vs the 4.3l 3 uze engine, the 400 is lighter in weight and so is nearly as quick as the 430.
Also, you actually purchased the Best LS 400, which is the 1998-2000 model year. I have a 2006 LS 430 and I will trade you in a heartbeat, though I greatly dislike like an all black car.
Thank you for calling out the people that automatically think you're going to drive slow in a Lexus LS. Though I do love seeing their jaws drop when I drop 2 gears and I pull away.
Down here in South Florida, people speed up when you put your blinker on so you can't get in front of them. (They even do it just seeing you look in the mirror) These are the times it helps driving a car that no one thinks is a threat. The LS400 may not be a fast 0-60 vehicle, but out on the highway, there is more than enough power to surprise everyone and get around that slow driver in the left lane holding up miles of traffic.
Definitely! Every now and then you gotta show what you got. Because your right people be thinking these cars are slow so you gotta show them 😂😂 thanks for watching bro 💯💯
Right, it’s a v8, any v8 has to be somewhat fast
Well needed video not many videos on these gems i have a 2002 ls430 big plans for it in the future these are definitely timeless cars that will only go up in value 💪🏼
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
Besides all that you already mention, what I like about my '04 430 is how quiet it is. Traffic noise is so much less and I can think, or listen to music or talk with someone at a normal voice like it's my living room. SOOO much less stress. I also like the ability to manually shift down to let it rev higher for acceleration. So smooth, so responsive. Great video. Thanks.
These cars are very quiet and smooth. Thanks for watching 💯💯
I got a 02 LS430 wit 68k original miles on it sittin on 20" rohana rims and dropped a couple inches on coilovers... By far my favorite car in my collection
Nice! 430’s are nice
Just got myself a 04 ls430 with 215k miles for 3800 from an older couple, took real good care about it and ive been happy ever since then, i love this thing so much, definitely keeping it for a while haha
Very good car it will last for a long time.
I love how he made SURE to rep his boys business in the beginning. That’s love!!!!!!!!!!
Always bro 💯💯
Those are so clean. Love the Ls430.
I have a 2017 Ls460 (last year with the V8) but that Ls430 is just a classic . They are so expensive now even the high high mileage ones like u stated in the video. The really low mileage ones are even above 20k.
Yes they are very expensive but they are known to run forever so I get the price. I like the LS460’s too. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
i picked one up few months back for 5.7 and 130k miles. I've seen a few similar on marketplace, try that out
Just grabbed a black/black 05 ls430 w 150k and timing belt, all services done for 6k. Just have to keep looking on marketplace lol
I was also a little nervous about that telescoping motor so when I took my car to the dealership to get serviced. I had them turn off the automatic telescoping steering wheel function. So im not worried anymore since it rarely gets used.
That’s good. Get a peace of mind without worrying if it’s gonna break. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
they def did they thang with the Ls con for me is if it’s stock you’re driving fishbowls 😭💀
They definitely did bro. I really enjoyed this car but your right that’s the only con 😂😂
98-01 And 04-06 were the best looking LS gens.
I have a 460, but I would absolutely trade down to a
06 430
I agree! The 460 are nice too but I see what you’re saying. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
Me again, I also have an LS 460 L, AWD. Ultra premium package executive seating. 2010.. this Lexus has auto pre-safe attached to the brakes and seatbelts. When you nail the brakes in this car, the seatbelts tighten up three times and sustain that tight yanking against your body for a few seconds after and the car holds the brakes in case someone’s going to hit you from behind. The first time you experience this it’s shocking how yanked into the seat you become you can’t move. . USA wake up with the seatbelts.
Great comparison guys. I own both models. UL on the 430. Air suspension is a headache. But IMHO probably one of the best 4 door sedans built. Solid as a rock!
430’s are great! Appreciate the support 💯💯
Both hard af🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it bro 💯💯
Pull the fuse for the steering wheel auto tilt. Look up the fuse diagram online. I did this on my 430 bc the wheel started acting up.
Thanks I’ll look into that. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
@@CarAdventuresWithRegkeep moving the switch up or down it will eventually work and tilt.
USA, put your seatbelts on! I have had an LS 400 1992, a used purchas. Then I bought an LS 430 which I still have. 2001 ultra premium package. The 430 lux package includes, double pane glass, adjustable, air self levelling suspension, which is still working perfectly 24 years later. Rear massaging seats with memory position in rear side door, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, which is fantastic. Mark Levinson sound system which is crap. Amplifiers burn out.. and blasts out all the speakers.
The most interesting feature is the automatically oscillating centre vents . Most people think they just oscillate but actually they’re much more sophisticated. (LS 430) They adapt according to the temperature selected from the passenger or the driver. One sets a high temperature the other, a low temp, the vents limit the directional sweep separating air flow. The quantity of temperature sensors in the car is also quite complex related to weather. When Sun is on the windshield, or it’s a cold and rainy day, the system detects around the passengers, how to increase the temperature and airflow at many points in the car. The LS 430 was made to last. Build quality. .
Most of the time the motor in the steering wheel is good the plastic gear goes bad but can be fixed with a plastic tie.
Nice to know. Thanks!
The gear drops too low put a tie around the shaft to raise it up, should solve the problem.
that 400 is nice af. black on black. I have a 04 430 in almost mint. only downside is the tan interior but I keep it freshly clean
Thanks bro! 430’s are nice too but as long as you take care of the tan interior, it looks nice. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
I actually prefer the black with the tan Interior, love the contrast.
How did the LS430 compare in terms of road noise to your LS400, and did they both have double paned windows?
I’ve read that the LS400 mark 4 is quieter than the LS430 on rougher roads/coarse road. However, this sounds weird to me for a newer model being louder. I’ve tried adding a link to a thread from lexusownersclub, but it keeps getting deleted.
I have a prefaclift LS430 UL myself, and I’m just curious.
They were about the same to me. They both are very insulated.
just got ls400, love the video
Congrats bro! Appreciate the support 💯💯
Even at this age these cars are more reliable than many new cars.
I agree! Thanks for watching 💯💯
Amazing video I’m planning on picking up a 1991 ls400 soon planning on putting new rims on it n lowered the car a bit n tint the windows
Nice! It’s gonna look good lowered with new rims. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
Looking for an LS400 as my first car, is that a good choice for a first time car owner? Any tips ?
Look for one with good paint and a clean body.
They are very reliable but look for one well maintained because it can get costly repairing the LS400. But I would say it will be a good first car. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
Safety belt on guys!
Got it! 💯💯
Got my 01 430 for 1k and was at a dealership got it in nov with 245k now i have 262k this is my seconf 430 ill always keep one def the best out of the 18 cars ive had
They definitely very reliable and comfortable cars
I like this format, y'all did a good job. I went and looked at your profile, looks like you got a Q50? Ha! I have one now and I'm looking to get into an LS 430/60. You still got the Lexus or does the Infiniti scratch the itch for a luxury sedan?
Thanks bro! I had got rid of my Lexus to get my Q50 lol
Both cars are immaculate shape Lexuses do hold they value with no dought
Thanks bro 💯💯
Can you do pov videos of ls400
I don’t have it anymore
Ls430 the best ⚡️⚡️💙
Great car for sure!
in my opinion
exterior 400 > 430
interior 400 < 430
I agree. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
Interior or exterior doesn’t have anything to do with it 😅😅😅,its horsepower difference #One is a 4.0 and the other is a 4.3 liter engine and the crankshaft on the 430 is also a little bigger # Don’t speak on cars if you know nothing about it
Same as 2jz GE vs 2jzGTE ,totally big difference #Toyota Aristo and the Lexus GS300 are very identical but different
430 looks way better
ls430 facelift base model without the nav screen is the one
I agree! Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
One is a 4.0 liter engine and the other one is a 4.3 liter engine #The 4.3 liter engine has more horsepower and a bigger crankshaft
Your right! Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
What are the years?
yea im coppin the ls400
Great choice! Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
@@CarAdventuresWithReg thanks for the vid 😁😁
great video, im definitely interested in getting one, what year would you recommend to get? i was told the '90-'94 transmissions arent the best, but the '98-'00's are the ones with the best transmission, im aiming for the late 90 joints, but here in florida, they're beat to shit, what you think on the '95-'97's?
Id say get a 1999 feel me
Yeah i would get 98 -00 95-97 are interference engine so if you don’t get the timing belt done it’s a risk so might as well get the 98 with more Hp too
Get whichever one has the best service history that you can afford.
Big difference in a $1200 lexus and a 5300 one. Trust me.
Thank you guys
Confounded! No brainer, put ur seat belt on, fools? Teach ur self why. Put 4 dudes in the car roll at 25 mile an hour, quietly slip into N, and nail the brakes. Ur buddies in the back will lift off the seats and face plant ur head rest. The front passenger will hit the windshield hopefully with their hands and arms, if not u will need new glass, the driver will be fine hanging on to the wheel. I have done this when the rear passenger say u don’t need belts in the back, but I do it as 10 mile per hour.
It’s astonishing. Case in point if u nail the brakes just a bit harder driving home from the grocery store because some goof in front did something dumb, all the bags hit the seat back. Ya, u have been there.
I live in germany whats the cost for replacement parts?
It depends on the part some pretty cheap and some expensive.
🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the support bro 💯💯
Need to get myself an LS430. Love those cars and the 3UZ. I have a SC400 but it isn't good for daily driving or passengers.
You will definitely like the LS430’s but I’m surprised you said the SC400 is not a good daily. Thanks for watching 💯💯
@@CarAdventuresWithReg yeah, I don't like the $100 per week gas bill.
Why not daily driving?
@@Dabal_R I live in Los Angeles. The car is not the best in LA traffic and costs too much to fill up. It is my weekend cruiser.
@@KaiPonte An LS430 isn't gonna get you much better mileage than your SC400, especially if you have a 98-00
One thing i needed to know yall never mentioned was how much room it has. Im 6'2 with 2 kids driving my wife 2013 corolla im looking for something not only roomy for me but in back as well so im not all on my kids feet with the seat scooted back. Id like to get one if they are roomy vehicles.
The LS400 and LS430 has a lot of room you will fit and be comfortable in either one of them.
Believe it or not the LS400’s in the UAE have more or less the same features like air suspension/ folding mirrors/the backseat features that the 430 has, I still wonder why American models didn’t get them
That’s interesting, I wonder why to. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
I am looking forward to getting one of these some day, which model do you recommend or would be best specifically that may have less probs
430 better tech
Ls430
six speed transmission wasn't until 2004
Those puppies clean .. do you have the front window tint ?
Thanks bro 💯💯 and yes 35% on the front windshield.
Nothing beats a Lexus v8
I agree!
I own a legendary Lexus Ls430 2004 American specs driven in the harsh environment of GCCtook it from provious owner(my brother).The current mileage Around 300 k.But guys, you know what, this car is NEVER GIVEUP, it's mileage has reached ZERO.I mean this car has been driven over1 million.Can you imagine guys 1,000,000 km!!!Even more, an extra 300k until now.By the way, this historical vehicle still running with its original engine and gearbox.I just started having some sort of knocking while shifting gear 3rd to 4th.
These cars was manufactured well! I know for a fact that these cars can last with well over 1 million miles as long as it was maintained well. Thanks for watching bro 💯💯
So the ls430 is good in 2004 year?
Have you guys considered like a 3.73 rear FD?
I don’t have the car anymore
What percent tint do y'all have & are tha windshields tinted as well?
I don’t know about his but mine is 35% all around including windshield.
why arent you putting on seatbelts?
Bad habits
What year is each?
2000 for the LS400 and I’m not sure about the LS430
The guy at the passenger side has been smoking recently.
😂😂

Appreciate the support 💯💯
