Good evening! Please see attached video, my GS430 Sport 2004 will make this sound when turning and it's more pronounced at stand still but can still be heard sometimes whilst driving. Not sure if it's squeak suspension or power steering pump? Checked the levels and they read as they should. Thanks in advance! 20220321_092608.mp4

After the rainy drive home, she deserved a clean and I'm so happy with how it came up.

Thankyou! Yes I do believe it's been looked after in its life, everything work, drives smooth and the body is in great condition.

Hahaha, yeah not worried enough to not buy it, but coming from a Mazda diesel, I'm intrigued to see how it compares. But yeah life too short was a big reason for the purchase also. Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately I do not have any day time photos yet, I viewed it early evening as it was about to get dark and drove her home, but soon we will have some! I'm intrigued by the fuel consumption, I haven't driven it 'hard' yet at all. 83 mile drive back home and took it steady and was cautious of the fuel needle... But i did read online that it's not absolutely terrible on a long run so, we will see. Ahh yes, I knew it was missing something but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I have just looked and the centre caps look to have been sprayed black actually! So they could do with a lick of paint which I'm sure will help!

Hello Lexus owners! Today I am proud to say I have become the owner of this 2004 GS430 Sport. My partner is Canadian and can only drive automatic so we came to an agreement that if I buy an automatic, she will be able to drive it, but I get to choose what car, and here we are. I'm already in love with it. I come from a Mazda background but this feels really premium, I cannot believe the lack of road noise. The gentleman I bought it off has told me it has the Y section and behind with an aftermarket exhaust, as well as TTE rear shocks which neither was listed in the advert, but was a great surprise. The only thing I am not loving is the obvious fuel prices.... However, I am able to walk to work, so it is purely a weekend car. My main query is, should I be running it on premium? For the trip home I decided to opt for Shell V power as I wasn't sure, but I assuming it is the right choice. This example seems to be well looked after, no rust in the typical spots, minimal bodywork damage (at least no obvious damage in the hideous weather today), no knocks or bangs (besides the rigid rear shocks) and a recent cambelt / water pump replacement. Thanks for reading, I cannot wait for the weekend to give it a clean and go for a proper drive in the dry!
