Let's not forget we are talking Canuck bucks at 15 K.
That's about 10 K in US dollars. I just paid 9500 USD for a 05 car with 106 K if the condition and options are right I think that's a good price.

no doubt she looks really nice! I paid $7000 Cdn for my full load UL 2004 with 302000kms, it was also one owner fully Lexus serviced.

IMO still high for a 12 year old car even with that low mileage.

Don't know about the rest of the crew here, I always keep an eye out for other examples of a car I have recently purchased. There does not appear to be any LS430's tooling around the area here. I have not seen one since I bought the LS a week or so ago.
Thus badges as a Celsior may make folks scratch their heads a little bit. I also tend to think that Toyota established the Lexus brand simply to extract more money from our wallets. I have always felt that Toyota cars are the best, period. I shall also note that Toyota dealers tend to be the worst.

2001 pearl white ML package
200k miles
Fair condition on the exterior excellent condition interior
Complete Lexus records
Paid 2000$ for it. I think I got a pretty fair deal. The fuse box in the trunk drivers side was acting up when I got it. Ordered 1 off eBay for under $200. Installed it and all the weird problems went away. There's still a few little gremlins that I need to take care of but overall I feel I got a steal of a deal for what the car is.

Like I've said I paid $14's in Oct '16. 06 with 80k.

I discovered an error in my ways that makes me feel a whole lot better. When carfax (on my phone) said my '06 was worth $4800, I said enough is enough, let me fact check them. Went on kbb and it basically said 7,000 to $8,200, wholesale. All this time I thought I suffered depreciation rivaling a brand new car. Carfax is a fraud. Think of zillow for homes--sure the number we see makes us feel good. Then go to realtor.com and see a 30% difference. I think it's because of what the sites are oriented for (buying or sellling). Same here with carfax, seems they really lowball.

Year: 2006
Color: Mercury Metallic (silver lol)
Mileage:180,000 miles
Package (ML or UL): Just regular premium package, smart key, and 18 inch wheels
Price: $5,650
Date Purchased: March 27, 2019
Condition: Interior: 9/10, Exterior 8/10. No peeling clear coat or major issues with paint. Interior is in amazing shape and no issues with the leather. The car drives like new and feels so smooth. The owner told me that the only difference she notices between how the car currently drives at 180k miles and when it was new, is the noise levels in the cabin.
Complete Lexus Service Records? Complete records from day one. All service done at dealer for the first 10 years, indy shop after that. Transmission was replaced by the dealer at 150K miles with records to prove it.
Private Party or Dealer: Private party (one owner)
How Long Did You Search? 2 days. My old car got hit by two different drivers in 2 weeks and I got really lucky finding a good deal in very short time.
City & State: Raleigh NC

I can feel my wallet becoming lighter after seeing your car. We can't have what you have up there, not old enough for US importation. I use my LS for work, not sure I can live with RHD. I pile the miles on mine.
I'll be going over to Tokyo in the coming months. Am a fan of Japan in general and I sell their products. Your great pics were worth repeating, I really like your car! My LS is a blank slate right now.

rock chip oxidation can be easily dealt with.
If you car has no particular issue, you got some awesome deal

Thanks. No issues I know of, no codes either. In certain light the oxidation is seen...I have used a three step process worked a little but not much. Would probably need to do something deeper.
