just got my family a 2001 Silver on Black LS430 with ULTRA Luxury package. that includes laser guided cruise, rear massager...etc

i got it for $15750 out of the door with BRAND NEW dunlop tires. the exterior looks BRAND NEW. not a single inch of repaint or scratch. the interior is 9/10.

did i get a good deal?

I'd say a great deal .
I bought the exact same car back in March 08 ,with same mileage , for $19,000 ( chrome rims ? ) Did you buy from a private seller or a dealer ?
I trust you will be very happy with your selection . I know I am. Enjoy !!!!

You guys are really stuck on these UL's, rightfully so I guess. I got a 2004 base model with 55 k and smart key, chromes, performance package for 17,500(I was triing to stay around 18 and looked for 1 month). I was triing to get a 04 430 for as low as possible with a stellar service and carfx report and a drivetrain warrantee.

I valued the upgraded suspension, 6 speed tranny, swivwl headlites,new front and rear end cosmetics with the 04 changes versus the air suspension, massaging this and that and door closers, adaptive cruise, cooler etc. Gotta admit the adaptive cruise would of been nice.

To each is own though, sounds like you got a great ride, wish I had the cash to get the UL in and 04
