I suggest taking a look at this:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...r-without.html

which will surely not even go for that price that is listed.

Some constructive advice: I really don't think anybody on this forum would buy that car for a penny more than $13,500.00, and you'd be incredibly luck at that. Not trying to be offensive, just realistic.

The whole "Shoot for the stars and you'll get somewhere in-between" thing doesn't work in an economy where cars are going for 15-20% less than KBB.

In an effort to help you sell your car, here is some constructive criticism.

1. Your ad sucks. You give little information, aside from the idiotic comment of it being better than a 2010. They quit making the LS430 so I fail to see how that is possible. Unless of course you are comparing an 01 LS430 to a 2010 LS460 and thinking your car is better - which is idiotic at best.

2. Your car books for around what Jason said. Your wheels do not add $11,500 to the value of your car.

3. People can buy an 05 with less miles in better condition than yours for less than what you are asking.

4. You included one lame picture. You need all angles of the car, interior pictures, under hood pictures, and any cosmetic imperfection pictures.

5. Give some information about the car. Service history? Clear carfax?

This might be a good start.

Dont need your help buddy but thanks for caring ! lol The comment about better than a 2010 is just a figure of speech.This is a eighty thousand dollar car and i always thought these cars are in high demand. I turned down many offers and they were all in my ballpark.This is just a feelers post dont get it twisted.Thirteen thousand what a joke i rather just give it away.

That wasn't very smart. If you can find someone to pay nearly double the book value then you should have taken it.

Book value is $15,592.

I know it's rude to post in someones ad regarding a high price but as a seller post some pics because right now especially in this economy your not going to get higher then your book unless it's in immaculate condition and even then just a grand or two over. Post some more pics atleast and service records like everyone else said.

There's plenty of 01-03 UL with the same mileage as this guy's on craigslist CA for 13k, one on there is actually going for under 11k.

Don't be turned of by this one, part of me thinks this listing is purely a joke. I've been on this forum for 6 years and this has to be one of the stupidest, far-fetched postings I've ever seen.

hey black, what are you doing after you sold your LS.? What did you get? and how do you feel with it? do you like it or not?

I am looking for a car instead my wrecked 2001 LS UL, and I am tired for looking around. The market is crazy nowadays . Also, I am tired from looking something not LS and has the same comfort and luxury and ride. What do you suggest to me.
