Hello. I'm looking for a luxurious and as reliable as they come sedan for a daily driver. Reliability and reasonable maintenance costs are the alpha and omega of everything as I'm all thumbs when it comes to repairing cars. Between a 111,000 miles driven 2002 LS430 and a 98,000 miles driven 2006 GS300 which do you think would satisfy my requirements the best? (Note that I live in Finland where it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a GS350, and an old GS450h seems like a liability with it's old hybrid batteries?).

How relevant are the carbon buildup problems for the gen 3 GS300 and how "bulletproof" (this is what Reddit claims) is the LS430 in reality?
