Saw a 2006 ultra luxury ls selling for $24,000 with 76000 miles. car seems to be clean. should i be concerned with such high miles for the year of this car? i also read that the air suspension on these cars go bad often and are quite expensive. Is this true for all years on this model or only for the older models as maybe lexus improved the issue.

Thank you in advance

Welcome and nothing else considered, 76K for an LS430 is NOT high miles at all, figuring that the car will go to 200K EASILY, with minimal failures, if any.

I don't have the UL for the exact reason of not wanting to later on deal with the air suspension at some point (plus, I have three kids, so ultra blows the rear seat features). With that said, don't take the forum numbers of the air suspension failures at typical or that it WILL OCCUR at some mileage point. As you know, those that come on forums are two types, those that have plenty of 2cents to spare (like me) and those that have issues. No one is just coming online to phrase and rant about how great their car is.

After reading here, it doesn't seem like the air suspension is something that was abnormally bad, but just something that is expensive to fix if it does go bad.

$24K for a UL 2006 with 76K I think is a good to fair deal. Cut it to $22K or less, and then it's a really good deal.

I think its a great deal if its in good condition like you said. I paid pretty close to that amount for on 04 ultra with similar miles 2 months ago.

i think its kinda high mileage but if your okay with the mileage then its definitely a pretty good deal for an 06 UL at 24k or even better at like 22-23k. call lex and give them the vin and see if they have service records on it...

how about a 2002 ls430 no nav with 53k on it for $16k?

i already bought a 2005, but i'm wondering if i should recommend this to a friend at this price?

I don't know where these other guys lie but that appears to be a great deal at 24K. In Atlanta you would pay 10K more last November for a 2006 with only 34K and I thought it was a steal.

Excuse me that was live NOT lie. Sorry
