01 430 w/premium pkg. 16" wheel ~$1000- $1200 over invoice.
~$45500- $45700 + fees and tax add $172 if you can find one w/17" factory wheel, pretty good deal

just order from carsdirect.com if your area dealers do not warrant such price.

gs4will,

That may not work as well in VA as it does in CA. For example, in Atlanta carsdirect doesn't have a dealer and there aren't as many Lexus dealers competing here. Autobytel price here is $3k over invoice.

As you know, the best I could do here was ~ $47k plus fees -- $2,500 over invoice for a GS 430 w/premium package, 17s and leather steering wheel -- and I'm told that's better than most have been able to do.

I'm also hearing that GS430s are getting tougher to get because of all of the V8s going to the LS and the SC.

Nonetheless, it's worth a shot to wave the carsdirect pricing at the dealer. Can't hurt.

pegula, let us know how you do.

Default This is what Carsdirect.com had:

In your area you can:
Lease the vehicle
compare prices or just look at MSRP and Invoice price. In my zip code (22102) they do not ofer Lexus gs430 for sale only lease??

di60da,

My GS430 is very similar to yours minus the wood steering wheel ($300) and the spoiler ($440).

I paid $47.1k plus fees, etc.
