2003 E320 VS 2002 Lexus LS430
Hi,
I am in the market for a fairly new used car. My budget is about $50000 including all the fees and taxes.
I am considering a used 2003 E320 or a used 2002 LS430 Base model. They come out to be about the same price.
Which do you think is a better buy? and why?
Thanks
I have been a owner of a 97 E420 and a 95 LS400. Both are great cars. Lexus LS400 is problem free but E420 was more fun to drive.

Owning both a Lexus and an E500 my feeling is after driving the 320 is get the Lexus.
Again, IF you can stretch your budget a bit and get the E500 , especially a NAV return car then that would be my first choice.
If not , then , the Lexus is a wonderful car , powerful V-8 and will hold its resale value over the MB. I have found my SC 430 2 seater to be as trouble free a car as I have ever owned.

I have a 1 month old E500, and my wife drives an LS430.
My suggestion would be to get the LS430, if you can't afford an E500. The LS430 has LOTS of power/torque. It's fun to drive, and of course there's the Lexus luxury.
The E500 is the one to get for more power/fun/sportiness. The LS430 is tops in luxury.

See what's out there
Since it's going to be a used car you should compare what's available out there, the cars' condition, color and options combination, etc. before making up your mind.

You should be able to negotiate a new E320 for about $50k. When I first brought mine, I paid list. But my mother brought one recently (Nav, sunroof, HK stereo, heated seats/steering wheel) for about $50k out the door.
