Bought mine brand new from the dealer. The deliver truck was making a delivery of LS 430s and I told my salesmen, " I will take the blue one right there off that truck." He then copied down the vin# and made it happen.

Bought mine from an older couple. It was hardly driven, never abused, and in absolutely pristine condition. We got an incredible deal that was impossible to pass up.

Got mine from same place. They're supposedly a "dealership" for a network of regional banks that lease vehicles out. So, when the leases are up, they try to sell the "best ones" at these dealerships before sending them off to auction once they've sat a while. They have an abnormal amount of Lexus vehicles, compared to other makes. They usually only have a handful of Acura vehicles.

They were good. I test drove easily ten vehicles there before finding my baby and I was let loose by myself each time. One trip I took it down the parkway about two exits and went back, just to test the "true life" highway feel of the LS.
