Highlights
THIS… is a 2005 Lexus LS 430, finished in Mercury Metallic with a black interior.

The seller reports no modifications.
- The third-generation Lexus LS arrived for 2001 with a longer wheelbase, a more powerful V8, and new technology features that rivaled Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class. In keeping with Lexus’s high engineering standards, these flagship sedans also boasted one of the quietest and most comfortable cabins produced at the time. A mid-cycle update for 2004 brought a 6-speed automatic, a revised suspension, styling tweaks, and still more available tech.
- Power comes from a 4.3-liter V8, rated at 290 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
