Highlights
THIS… is a 2005 Lexus LS 430, finished in Crystal White Pearl with a Cashmere interior.
- The attached Carfax history report shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies in this LS 430’s past; it also shows that this Lexus has been registered mostly in Texas and Washington since new.
- According to the Monroney Label provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes the Modern Luxury Package, a power-operated sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more as listed below.
- Modifications reported by the seller include 18-inch American Racing AR934 Fastlane wheels, a front-mounted license plate bracket, tinted windows, and a GROM Audio Bluetooth and USB adaptor.
- 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 engine, rated at 290 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
