Overview & Reviews

For 2003, 17-inch wheels are standard, replacing the 16-inchers. The climate control front seats and park-assist feature, formerly included only with the Ultra Luxury or Custom Luxury packages, are now available as stand-alone options. Finally, base cars ordered with the climate control front seats now feature perforated leather trim throughout.

• Superb ride quality, impressive array of standard and optional luxury features, top-notch interior materials, Lexus reliability.

• Not quite as athletic as its competitors, adding options raises the price to un-Lexuslike levels.

  Lexus LS430 - The King Kahuna!!! - 2003 Lexus LS 430
  By John McLean - June 1 - 2:00 am

  The LS430 2001 model is my third LS Class Lexus. These three models (the first two were LS400s) spanned an ownership period of twelve years. I call them "the Lexus years"!!! Rain, hail, sleet, snow or brilliant sunshine, the big Lexus just keeps going no matter what!!! Once in Boston, buried under six feet of snow and left for three weeks, it started first time when dug out of the snow. Oh yes - if you want that most important motoring asset "peace of mind" the GET IT!!!!!!!

  Comfort and Response to Driver - 2003 Lexus LS 430
  By lenengrad - March 8 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle will do exactly as you wish. The 8 cyl power allows you to pull out, pass, or drive on the interstates with full control. The driver has to be carefull of too much speed without realizing it , especially on interstate highways. A real pleasure place with lots of power.

  Love My LS430 - 2003 Lexus LS 430
  By JDR122 - February 16 - 2:00 am

  What a treat to drive - Supremely comfortable, absolutely smooth ride, listening to CDs even if I dont particularly want to because of the amazing sound quality. Ended up with the ultra-lux package, and my kids tell everyone at school about all of the cool rear seat features.

  Dream Car - 2003 Lexus LS 430
  By hjnicholas - February 16 - 2:00 am

  This car is unbelievable. The ride and luxury is better than BMW and Mercedes. Lexus has only been around since 1989 but has won more awards than its German competition and now I understand why.

  2003 LS430---$ for $---Best Luxury Car EVER Made - 2003 Lexus LS 430
  By Douglas W. - January 22 - 7:04 pm

  Recently purchase a one owner 2003 LS430.....This was a 1 owner CEOs car that was garage kept..... After 6 months, I am floored by the quality and performance of this vehicle. This car has 238,000 original miles and has had only routine maintanance. I am having the extensive 90K service which will include more than just the timing belt and water pump..(will do tensioner, seals, bearings, etc while already there).. Getting done next week (Using only OEM materials--Aisin, etc...)..There are no signs of leaking, its strictly preventative, and Lets me know Im good for another 100K or so!!.. I challenge you to find another luxury car that will go 238K on original TB/WP and hasnt needed any repair other than routine maintenance (brakes, fluids, etc) ... Feels like a plane at takeoff , only there is no noise, and the trans is still whisper quiet and shifts are undetectable. Mark Levinson sound system compliments the car perfectly...(Not meant for deep pounding base songs, but rather excels with classical, smooth jazz, as well as rock and most pop)..I replaced the foam surround on the rear deck subwoofer , other than that, there is really no wear or broken items that would keep you from thinking your not in a much more newer car. Speaks Volumes for the fit , finish, and quality of the materials used during the buil... Navigation CD was $10 on ebay and was upgraded in a minute... Still havent mastered the voice commands available to me, but its a learning curve for a middle aged man. Ill be going through the suspension next as Im sure the wearable rubber parts could use replacement by now (front end bushings and the like). Again, keep in mind, everything is all original with 238K miles and 14 years of time on them!!..I look forward to finding 2005 or 2006 to add to my garage (as Id like to have an LS with the 6 speed transmission as well).

  Just Buy IT!! This is the best car that Ive ever owned. It is much more reliable than a BMw or a Mercedes, and its cheaper too!. I also own a 1991 LS400, and it still runs like new. This is a definite buy for people looking for a higher- end car thats big, comfy, and purely awesome!
