i dont have a problem at all showing someone my invoice. keep in mind, it doesnt have anything to do with what i will sell a car for, but trying to hide your invoice is just idiotic in the information age. in fact, most times peoples numbers arent quite accurate and i can show them the breakdown of the vehicle more easily by showing the invoice to them.

 

Here's the first image - just detailed today. Windows get tinted tomorrow. Will post additional shot.

 

Last weekend i bought a 2004 LS430 flint mica color, nav, mark lev, 18" 5 spoke rims, sport suspension package... i wish it had the ultra luxury package, but the deal was too good to refuse....the owner wanted $39k, then dropped it to $36,500.....i low balled him to $34,500.....once again with 35k miles....is this a deal?

somethings i want to add to the car is dynamic laser cruise control....does anyone know if i can get that put in?

thankz

 

Purchased 04 Silver/Black Ultra 17K mi from original dealer and one owner serviced at dealer with CPO to 5 yrs 125K Mi - Dealer bought the car for $34,9K at Lexus auction (transfer price was on title). Have all records - they put $4K in PDI - new front/rear brakes and rotors, and misc other things totalling $5K Purchase price was $39,500 but extended the CPO to 5yrs 125K for $1800. Plus original owner had snows mounted to 6K mi so only 11K on the tires.

So while I dont consider this a "great" deal it was right for the car, mileage and condition, plus a CPO warrany to 2012 or 125K is a very good deal. Plus Lexus will give back unused warranty portion.

I looked on eBay and found some nice cars - they were not CPO, and one had accident history (found by Autocheck not Carfax) such that spending another $3-4K was worth it IMO for the CPO.

i just got a black/black 2004 with ML, nav, and regular options for 29,995. it had 60k. what do you guys think?

 

:bump:

Anyone have pricing updates on 04s that they would like to share?

 

I picked up a 2004 LS430, silver on black (premium package I think) with 56k on the odo about 3 weeks ago. The exterior is in very good condition (no rust or dents). The interior is very clean (no rips, tears or cracking).

I picked it up for $27k out the door, but that was a hook up price.

I live in Hawaii so normally things cost a little more than what you'd find on the mainland.
