Replying to: cove148 (Jun 17, 2009 7:57 am) I do too. I planned on holding onto my 2005 LS430 after driving the new LS460. Replies to this message: wwest (Jun 18, 2009 9:48 am)

Replying to: vcheng (Jun 17, 2009 10:12 am) My '95 LS400 is my "keeper".   At least until there is an LS4x0H using the GSes V6 HSD system with the V6 adapted to FULL DFI and Atkinson.

Replying to: cove148 (Jun 17, 2009 7:57 am) I had an 04 LS430 (same as 05), and replaced it with the 08 LS460L. The 460 is a fine car, but the 430 was quieter and smoother. The 460 storage compartments are all a bit smaller. Its transmission has a tendency to shift jerkily (occasionally). The wind noise problem appears to have been fixed (mine never had that problem). The 460 has two nice features: The power trunk open/close, and the Stop Hold (when engaged, it keeps the car stopped even after you take your foot off the brake, until you step on the gas). Of course it also has more power and gears, but the 430 wasn't lacking in those. On balance, your 430 will probably age more gracefully than my 460.
#5 of 7 Shock/Strut Suspension for 04' LS430 Ultra by mrsincere7 Aug 03, 2009 (4:51 pm)
Can someone advise me? I have a 04' LS 430 Ultra. Lately I noticed a rattling noise coming from the right rear wheel. When I drive down the street it feels like the car suspension is teetering from front to back. I hit bumps and it feels like the car sways before it corrects itself. I even tried to push down each fender. That r/r fender definitely has more bounce than the other sides.    Here's my question. Since I have the electronic air suspension, is there a shock absorber that can be easily replaced, or is it more involved, like replacing a special strut or special shock absorber for air suspensions???

Yes I to have looked and driven almost everything since Sept 08. All Lexus maintance has been done. I am thinking about buying extended warranty. My dealer said Lexus doesn't offer one over 100,000. They offered me another warranty $1200 to $2200 depending on what I want. I may end up with a 2010 ES just not sure even with .09 % money until Sept 7th.
