Ls430 Buying Questions

[MUDGUTS]

Hello,

My LS400 goes in for its MOT in a week or so and I'm hoping to keep it for another year (maximum) after that. I'll be looking for a LS430 next time and I have a few questions to help when I start looking:

1) How can you tell if the car has air suspension from advert photographs on the web?

2) I want the Levinson Audio: How can you tell it has this?

3) As above with rear massage seats

4) Is there such a thing as a DHP on the 430 or is that just a sport setting on the air suspension?

Does all this come with a Premium Pack? If so that's what I'll be looking for, or are the above split up?

Any help appreciated, I'll start looking later this year so I'm not rushed into a replacement for my 400.

Hiya

I think this link can answer some of your questions http://lexusownerscl...Sheet LS430.pdf

And this link may help as well http://www.lexusowne...showtopic=77968

From my own car i can tell you this....

It was advertised as premium package, has wood steering wheel and veneer's around the doors and dash.

If you get close to a prospective 430, look in the wheel arches, you will spot the air suspension, also there is a button on the centre consol to adjust it, just under the CD loading drawer.

The rear arm rest when pulled down has buttons that control the rear massage seats through a few settings each seat.

The stereo facia has Mark Levinson written on it just above the volume control.

DHP is over my head at the moment as i'm still new here too

Thanks Maduggo,

I have read that thread and I'm thinking that there are virtually no non-premium pack models out there. From the dozens I have seen on the web, only one had a normal steering wheel (leather, not half leather, half wood).

So maybe they are all very similar.
