Just traded my 03 LS430 UL for an IS-F....Loving the IS-F, handling is excellent...btw they gave me 23,500 for my LS..it had 49000 miles on it...Car was very clean, clean enough for them to CPO it!! i'll miss it

 

Congrats... you went real extreme there, from biggest to smallest Lexus.

 

congrats on the trade, what color IS-F did you go w/?

 

they gave u 23K for a 2003? u sure ? NO WAY. How much did u end up buying the ISF for?

 

Got the IS-F for $53k (ultrasonic blue with white int) fully loaded Nav, ML, HW, Park Assist

 

They gave me $23,500 for the LS430 UL...Car was extremely clean not even any wrinkles on the front seats

 

dude i would have given you 24k for it tomorrow! oh well,,, i am trying so hard to find a 03-06 UL in this price range and the only one i thought i found turned out not to be a UL after all... congrats on the new lex!!

where did you trade the UL in at,,, what color was it??

 

it was just an impulse buy....I wanted to get atleast $25k but i got an awesome deal on the IS-F so didn't really care...It was traded in at lexus of cherry hill...Car is Crystal white with Ecru interior....Car is close to brand new ...If you want to look at it i can contact them and let them know

 

i bet they prolly wouldn't sell it for less than 28.9 right now but if they would let it go for 25k i would still do it... damn man,

 

I'll talk to them...Pm me your Cell Number if you are serious...I'll call the General Manager to see what he wants to do

 

dude, i'm seriously trying to figure out if i want another white on beige or to go with black on beige....

my current 2gs is white on beige and i love it but kinda wanted something different, so now the decision is... yours or a black on beige non UL but still the luxury package 05 ls430 with 32K miles for abour 27k$$

 

You're right... they're asking for $33K... SHOCKING !!!!

 

are you serious AlexusAnja?? it really doesn't surprise me cuz you could prolly talk em down to 30.5 or even 29.5 if your really good... such a shame, such a shame. but i bet they give you that piece of mind CPO-lexus feeling with it though..

i have no cig... i have no cig...

 

Unbelieveable that they are asking 32.9 for it....Not sure If someone would be willing to pay that much for an 03...If i knew i could sell it for 25 or 26 i would have sold it privately but seems like market is full of LS430's ...04-06 with less than 40k miles can be had for $25k range

 

Congrats on the IS-F Salil022

Well, you know how much they bought the LS430 for and tell them you know the seller. It's understandable that they have to make a profit, but roughly $9k in profit
There's alot of room for negotiation there.

And since the car was sparkless, there shouldn't be much "re-conditioning".
