Are you talking about the turbo'd aristo or just a normal one? Quite a tough one there, I'd tend towards the GS430 personally as the V8 is so silky, plus I think it has more toys..........

They are both good cars, so it would be down to the car condition/ price/ mileage etc;

Both cars have more than enough Power.
I would look at a couple in each model and test drive them both, and see what you get out of each one.
So look for both and see what road it takes you down.

Happy hunting:thumbup1:

GS 430 mate.

its not an import so costs less on insurance, and everything will be in English etc.

Gord Cost, age, and GS has more toys, and the people that would have owned the GS prob would of been older type of person, looked after it more.
Plus 2 turbos can cost lots if/when you need new ones :thumbup:

And im not 100% on this, the GS has 5 speed auto, the Aristo has 4 speed box

Your right about the GS having a 5 Speed auto
