Just picked up a 2002 LS430 with the UL package. It has 280k miles but holy cow it drives so smooth. And I was averaging about 27mpg on my 200miles road trip back home. I’m very impressed with this car.

I've taken the speaker out via your instructions, removed outer foam and cleaned speaker... waiting on the speaker fix kit to show up so I can fix and install. Will keep you posted.

2008 RL best year for them

I’ve driven a couple LS 430s and the magic is lost on me. They seem ok.

To me, the Lexus LS430 and Benz W140 are two classically beautiful and timeless cars that are built like tanks.

I was thinking of purchasing one of these cars, but i am now starting to understand that the only thing dependable about this car is the engine. How did Lexus/ Toyota engineers screw up the door actuators dependability after creating the most dependable v8 engine on the planet???? This engine is known to be a "mechanical marvel" certified to be used as an airplane engine or a boat engine, but they can't over engineer a working door actuator????!!!!

ha just try and replace the fog lights and their bulbs you have to remove the front end, windshield wipers are a pain too, and do you know why you have to keep up on the trans fluid no fluid to the rear of the trans a design flaw all Acuras, and do everyone a favor and not by one with the run flat tires other than that I liked the RLs

The title belongs to the 2nd generation LS400

You are so dull and monotone... I fell asleep twice

Where did you buy that kit im going crazy searching online where to get one for my car and havent had any luck 😢

I still want one of these cars

I have a 2009 RL with 218,000 plus miles and still going

Nice 👍 do you still have it? I’m driving a 2000 GS400 all white too

Thanks man! Hoping I get to buy the LS430 that I'm eyeing!

Is the equivalent year GX470 the same quality and reliability?

If it’s still available, and you’re into the music and can get your hands on it, get the dvd audio Dire Straights Brothers in Arms. It’s 80s music, but this disk has been master for full surround sound, and in that car, you feel like you’re up on stage with them. Presently I drive a 2020 RLX sport hybrid.

You forgot about ECM problem with shift solenoids causing a hard shift at 1st and 2nd gear

What’s the link for the apple car play ?

About to receive a full option loaded S55, as a millennial, this is the prettiest S-Class with a timeless design. All other modern ones are botox, lip fillers and un-conservative.

Nice story and I totally agree. I leased my second LS430 in 2005 and bought the car at the end of the lease. Today it has 137,000 miles and I just replaced the factory timing belt, pulleys, tensioners, serpentine belt, etc. Since I have owned it (except for tires and breaks) I have replaced the front right wheel bearing and front shocks (68,000) and one muffler. About to replace the steering column up and down motor. Crazy. I Love the ride the V8 and the handling.

Mine is 05 and it has 184 miles still runs like new. Love it very much.

I still have my 2001 LS430, love this car

Watching this in my newly purchased LS430 🥰

Our navigation system and screen all together is completely malfunctioning on my 06. When we got it in 2017 it looked brand new. It’s really went down hill in the last 7 years.

Dude, no disrespect . You know nothing about audio. You put Bose against Mark Levingston. Total disrespect. By the way I own a LS430. The RL doesn't compare . Sorry

Great info, thanks!

I'm picking up one, been driving it already as a loaner. Has nearly 300k miles with timing belt, waterpump, oil pan gasket, valve cover gas, trans fluid within the last 20k as well as diff. Only area of the car that shows its age is the leather. Dash and glove box lid are perfect. The car has had many owners but within the same family. They all maintained it and all shared it lol Plus new brakes and tires all around. Calipers are in good shape, it does have an emissions light but my state doesn't care, just an o2 sensor. Only issue I did find is that the "check charging system" light comes on but goes off when you drive and restart the car. It even shows proper charging amps while it's occurring. My friend claims it does that every once in a while. He nor anyone that's looked at it can figure it out but it hasn't done any harm to it. Just a gremlin I guess.

My keys got flushed down a automatic flushing toilet at a loves truck stop and the locksmith that came and said he get me a key so I could go about my business showed up and then was unable to get a key code!! Any ideas how to get the key code?

Ls430 seriously was built to be higher than just first place 😂 absolutely breaking the roof with this at 2001

NO WAY!! You have wonderful taste in automobiles! I own an MX5 (S200 competitor), a CRV, and am looking for a Lexus LS430!

Horrible fuel economy in the city. It's a legit 15 mpg on premium. 26 highway at 80 mph though.

I got all four rotors and pads for $500. Rear pads were shit and had to replace them with a higher quality brand as they were sqeeking nonstop.

Where can I get it?

Hello, I live in the United States and I was thinking about installing that kit on my 2014 Acura, but I can't find it on Ibay or on Amazon.

Aux? bluetooth???

Get you some good chrome wrap, sand the old chrome flat and replace with the chrome vinyl. Looks good.

Most important thing to replace is the Timing belt every 90k miles do the water pump at same time very very important to avoid super costly expense great video very informative Thanks

I love my LS430 . We also had a Lexus SC400 that we’ve since sold. I noticed your comment stating that “you don’t want to get a Base model.” I would have to disagree on that statement wholeheartedly. I also have a GX470. The Non-Nav ones are the ones that are the most sought after due to being more expensive to swap out….plus it looks very dated. Since the Navigation model uses the screen for the Heat/AC, it makes it more expensive and difficult to swap out. Some people uses the Tesla hardware but I’ve read that it has some bugs. My 2002 GX470 has been easily upgraded w/Apple CarPlay unit. The LS will get the same treatment. End the end, I feel it’s just what each person prefers. Nothing wrong with the Navigation units as long as they don’t have any issues.

Shity on gas ?

Link?

Hey Kyle, miss seeing your videos. Especially loved the RL and LS videos. I learned a lot about those cars through you. What cars are you running today? Hope all’s good with you!

The fact that everyone is asking where they can get it and just ignores you is some weirdo shit but hell respond to anything else..

Any idea how to make the engine more powerful? What do you think about muffler delete? I just wanna hear the v8 😅

How much have you spent on it? Gonna inherit my dad’s car in two weeks…

We have a 2006 RL with average miles kinda high and it needs a new transmission. My husband wants to sell it and I don’t. I think it’ll be worth spending the money for a new transmission so the car can last for a couple more years what do you think

We have an 2006 Acura RL and everything you said is 100% spot on . The fading of the bumper on the front and inside the car the console ripped alittle . The car is having shifting problems. We think it needs a new transmission. It sucks because we do not want to get rid of the car because we just passed it down to my 21-year-old son, and he loves it. I did read the shifting and all the problems it was doing ,it could just be that it needs the transmission fluid changed and not rellacing the transmission ,so we are crossing our fingers lol.

Luckily, with this car, if you run the radio with the car off or with the key turned to acc, a message will come across the radio screen to tell you to start the car before the battery is about to die, and it also makes a sound to get you to look at the screen. It will run for a long period of time before it dies, though! I have an 06, and that's what mines do. Although your 04 has more than mine does since mines is a base amg!

What type of oil , synthetic or regular 5/30 and other factors concerning oil regularity!

Where can I get the kit?

I love my 06 bought it in 2016 with 70k miles and its a blast to drive and have always get compliments. I recently upgraded the gps system to a apple car play and android auto system and its even more fun to have now. Im never selling it. Recently drove from dallas to california and gave no problems the gas sucked but the ride comfort was amazing My wife loved it.
