Hi,
I currently have a 2002 Toyota Camry xle fully loaded except for navi and heated seats. I was wondering if you think i should trade it in for a 2001 ls430.
If yes, what package do you recommend, like should i go for the ultra luxury or custom luxury.
In the ultra luxury package, what features do you have that you never use. I dont wanna spend extra money for ultra luxury and find out they are useless features or they break easily.
thanks
Oh and how much should i expect to pay for one.
I am thinking 37-40k but plz correct me if i am wrong, i am also looking for certifled vehicles, and if you think i shouldnt get a certifled vehicle plz comment here.
thanks

I just bought a 2002 LS430 w/ Nav and Lev for only $42,000.00. Get this, it has 6,300 miles on it and the owner is a neighbor of mine who is 79 years old.
Btw, average wholesale on a 2001LS430 is $39,000.00. That figure represents what a dealership would be willing to pay for a base LS430 as a trade.
Forget the ultra luxury package, too many toys and if you decide to lower the car it'll be a BIG pain in the *** because of the air suspension. Just get Nav and Lev, you won't regret it.

Do i have to buy from a dealer or do you think ill be fine buying from a private party like ebay.
Im kinda worried because these private parties dont offer warrenties. I know these are the most reliable cars in the world but things could happen.
Do you think if i face my dealer with the wholesale price info they will be able to lower the price a few thousand?
Thanks

You can do whatever you want. I would. I would tell them that my uncle or some immediate family member works for Lexus and that he told me average wholesale on a 2001 LS430 is $38,900.00. What have you got to lose? I highly doubt that they are going to sell it to you for that price btu, it makes them aware that you know what your talking about.
I would offer them $1k over wholesale and that's it. I used to be a floor manager for Lexus. If you PM me, I can give you my number so that I can fill you in. Take care, Mike.
