Overview & Reviews

Lexus' flagship was completely redesigned last year. The only addition for 2002 is a new Platinum Blue Metallic exterior paint.

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

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

  One of the Great Ones - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By Doc - July 7 - 11:50 am

  Ive owned this car for 2 years. Ive put 20k on it, and the only trouble has been the battery. Ive owned 6 s class Mercedes, a 5 series Bmer, 2q45, a qx4 and loads of caddys and lincolns. They all have their strong points. This is my 2nd Lexus, and it has been trouble free. Time for another Lexus.

  Comfortable around town cruiser - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By V - June 3 - 7:16 pm

  I bought the LS430 for family and guests to have something to drive around town in comfortably and safely. If you want a real comfortable and sports sedan buy the Audi S8!

  A volume button on steering wheel would also help as well as the 3 current ones for the Radio etc.

  2002 Lexus LS430 - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By Eric - July 11 - 7:43 am

  This is my first luxury car and bought used to avoid sticker shock. The only item needing warranty replacement were the two gas-filled lifters for the trunks lid. I bought as "like new" with 23K on the clock. The original owner replaced the Yoko 390s with Michelin XSE MXV4s as they wore out too soon. The ride is not super quiet over interstate pavement joints which may be exasperated by these new tires. I dont know. Also, the AC is so powerful that even in a Gulf Coast summer the fan speed on "Auto" has to be manually moderated. This involves using the Navigation touch screen. A nice problem to have though in Houston. I am 100% happy with this car even in our new era of $3/gallon gas.

  Nothings perfect but this comes close - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By edavidm - March 18 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned many vehicles including MB, Cadillac and Toyota, but this is the ultimate vehicle in all respects. The quality of workmanship, attention to detail, comfort, luxuriousness is unparalelled.

  Driveable Livingroom - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By D Norman - February 28 - 1:30 am

  This is my second LS series. This is by far the most comfortable automobile I have ever driven and I have driven hundreds. I purchased the Ultra Luxury Package this time and the amenities and ride are absolutely unsurpassed. My wife and I drove to Florida last summer, 2700 miles in all and the level of comfort could not have been better. There are copiers, i.e. the 07 Big Mercedes and BMWs,but they dont quite compare the the ride, reliability and comfort of the LS 430 Ultra. Superb motorcar.

  02 Lexus LS430 Ultra - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By jeffdinohio - February 2 - 12:42 am

  Recently purchased a 02 Lexus LS430 with the Ultra package. This vehicle replaced a LS400 with well over 250,000 miles. You cannot compare the bullet-proof reliability of Lexus vs. the other so-called luxury brands. This particular Lexus is giving me 25+ mpg on the highway along with the best ride imaginable. No squeaks, no rattles, nothing out of a vehicle that is over 12 years old! Doesnt use a drop of oil and when you do change the oil it looks like it is still brand new. The Ultra package gives extra refinement especially to the rear seat passengers. The reclining, massaging seats are extraordinary for a journey of over a few hours. Definitely a 5 star vehicle and one I recommend.

  LS430 - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By michel - January 29 - 10:06 am

  My lexus ls430 is an o.k. car. The engine is under powered. It is very quiet and the ride is nice though I just dont like the car at all. It was a horrible buy. The dealers at the dealership treated me like I was buying a geo metro. I shouldve bought the new Q45. The sound system in the lexus is horrible! It is very tinny and doesnt sound very good at all.

  PERFECTION!!!!! - 2002 Lexus LS 430
  By A340-600 - January 21 - 10:00 am

  The best car Lexus ever made. I have owned over 7 LS400s, since they first came out in 1989, and have been drivin them since. I have a beautiful Milleniunm Silver on black with Ultra- Lux. You get power rear seats with massage, power sunshades, best GPS, Mark Levinson sound (the best ever!), parktronic and distronic (really cool), beautiful wood trim, really soft leather, rear climate and audio controls, for just $64,000! BRAND NEW! YOU GET MORE THAN A S600 OR 760lI FOR LESS!!!
