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 💯💯

@@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.

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.

Nice! 430’s are nice

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.
