price u paid for ur LS430...
#91
I bought a pearl white premium about a year ago with 43k miles for 19,800. It was in excellent condition with the exception of the flaking chrome wheels which i replaced for $800. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. World class car with low mileage for the price of a Focus.

Hey, I'm new to the LS430 board, just bought mine last week after owning two LS400's (still have one of them for sale)
Bought this in:
Breda/Brabant/The Netherlands
€7950/ without tax / with license / 205000km (128125 miles)
package: President (I guess that's an Ultra in the US)
dealer(?): Wholesale
The Wald wheels didn't come with it I'm getting my hands on a Datasystems controller at the moment
Considering it's new price tag of €110.000 this was a steal, also taking in account the next comparable President/Ultra was almost €16K...that one had a sunroof though...mine doesn't nevertheless, I'm very happy with it

Hey all, just acquired an '05 LS 430 Base at Lexus Wayzata MN for $22,000. One owner creampuff with 73K, crystal white ext with buff interior. Had an '06 ES 330 w Nav-ML, great ride..but wow, what a step up. Even the "standard" 7 speaker Pioneer audio is very very good (90% of where the ML was).

You get a warranty on that thing? 22 seems kinda high for a base model unless you added some stuff on.

I only ask because if it is 22k without a warranty, that is only 2k off what I am asking for a 55k mile UL. Obviously, a warranty can mean a lot, especially in your case, when it is for 3 years or out to 100k miles.

I'm looking to buy a 04ls430 with ML. It has 36k and they are asking 24.7, private party. What do you think is a good price? Appreciate your assistance and I can't wait to sit in my very own ls430.
#101
If it is in mint condition, it might be worth that much. It's still 700 more than what I am asking for an 05 UL with 55k.

My recommendations is to look for one in the south where roads are good, no snow and do not get abused. If you don't feel driving it back home, just ship it. My was shipped for $450 (distance of 750 miles).

I have a good relationship with this dealer, and they have always taken very good care of our cars when in service. I agree I paid a bit more than I needed to, but it usually comes back in the form of good service, no questions asked new loaners, etc. Plus the car itself is a true creampuff. I've tried to look for dirt, issues, etc....it's been very well kept, which was important to me.

In my case I am good with a non-UL model. Less to go wrong as the miles add up. It's a 18k a year car for me, mostly rural i-state drone driving. The only thing I wish it had was the ML sound system...but the stock Pioneer is not that bad. Hauled out some older cassettes....sounds pretty good!
