my dad is looking to buy one, do any of you guys have an idea as a price. i already got quoted before a price of 64k out the door...

BMcD430

I'm assuming you are talking about a NEW 2004? I got mine in October for $62,700. 10 miles on the odometer.

Good luck!

Wait a minute. I thought Lexuses, BMWs and Mercedes' didnt need or offer rebates. IIRC the retail price of the LS430 Ultra Luxury is somewhere around 74k, how on earth do you end up at 62k from 74??? We are talking like Cadillac and Lincoln rebates there.

EDIT: Man I guess I take that back. The MSRP has come down since the 01 it seems (Come to think of it, I dont know where I got that 74 number from :hmm: ). A quick check on edmunds reveals that the MSRP for an 05 with Ultra Luxury and Dynamic Laser Cruise is only 69,895 and the "What others are Paying" section shows about 68k, so being an 04 purchased at the end of the year, I guess 62 would be reasonable. Good Job!

actually the retail of the fully loaded ls430 ul is indeed around 74. the invoice for the car is about 64. now how he got it for 62 though, i don't know. but judging from the time frame (oct 04), seems like the dealership was trying to get rid of stock (05 were out since late aug) that's been in the lot for too long

I paid mine for 74K in 01

Theres nothing wrong with that, do you know how revolutionary the LS430 was in 2001!! I bet there were waiting lists to get the Ultra when it first came out.

Even compared to the old LS400, the LS430 was like a whole NEW CAR, a complete departure from the practical LS400 (Though the Hard drive based Nav in the 400 hinted of things to come even back then).

yeah i agree, when it first came out the UL had a long list and everything went at msrp. the ls430 was soo different from the ls400 before
