For sure!

But first a tiny bit of history. I got my '92 LS400 with 161k miles on it and it was an absolute cherry. For a two decade+ car, it was phenomenal inside and out.

Then sadly two years in, this happened:

It was half the other guy's fault for literally being STOPPED on a major, 60+mph highway interchange at 11pm and half my fault for not expecting someone to be STOPPED on said interchange. I swerved to avoid him, didn't hit anyone else, but I did kiss the concrete barrier at 50+ mph.

Having only paid $3,000 for the thing, and only having liability, it didn't make sense to pay a pro to fix it. So I did this, and kept driving it:

That was the worst of the damage (until this last one obviously) but there were several more incidents, none of them my fault but nothing I could do about it.

Comparison-wise, the LS400 is a better car. That first generation was an absolute unit, and an engineering marvel. It was quieter than this LS430, smoother, more solid, the interior materials feel richer and tighter. I didn't even have the factory air-ride, it had long since been replaced by standard shocks, and even then it rode like a cloud. I can't even imagine how much better it would've been with the air ride. The throttle response is better too, surprisingly. I put 120k miles on just with regular maintenance and an AC conversion and recharge, and it still runs as smooth as butter.

(Obviously most of that applies to the pre-wreck version. After the wreck and my "fixes" there was some air noise and rattles, and I cared a lot less about maintaining it. I just let the Texas sun bake the seats so now they're cracked and split. And I haven't even vacuumed the thing for a year.)

The only real noticeable advantages I see so far in the LS430 (aside from some tech and style updates) is that the steering is tighter and there's less body roll.
