I paid $6,800 for it, which I consider full retail, but when you get in it and it looks and feels the same way it did when costing $58,000, what I paid is insignificant. Flew to CA and drove it all the way home.

I don't know the story of the car except that it was one owner, religiously serviced at the local Lexus dealership and was traded for a new Lexus. Looking at the registration records it was only driven about 1,200 miles between 2014 and 2017.

My kids hate it, says it's an old car, but I've had it for 2 weeks now and actually look forward to getting behind the wheel and finding places to drive. Also, I bought one of those bluetooth/FM transmitter devices that plugs into your cigarette lighter. It arrived yesterday, so I now have bluetooth for audio and phone...made the car even better!
The kids don't understand, but with time and wizened eyes they'll learn there elders knew better.

Congrats on the cost you did fantastic. Here in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area these are not to be found (w/ low miles). I have noticed Calif. has a better market for these old-new LS400's. Mine was listed at $8,400.00 and I paid $7,800.00. I searched for about a year and was going to buy local.
