Is this a good price for a 2001 LS430

Amen! That's why I've been driving them since 1989. I once bought an Avalon but quickly saw the error of my ways and went right back to Lexus. Aaaaaah!

In 2005 your 1991 car was 14 years old with 167k miles (according to your sig) and that car originally stickered somewhere in the high 30s, low 40s. It would have taken VERY LITTLE damage to total that car as it had very little value by that time.
The 2001 car is only 9 years old with 100k and had a much higher value to begin with (70k), especially if it was an ultra-lux. Thus it would have taken significantly more damage for the insurance company to consider it a complete loss in the event of an accident. Also, the 2001 is infinitely more complex than the '91 so a bad car could be REALLY BAD.
