Source (eBay, AutoTrader, Cars.com, etc.): Unfortunately, my wife's grandmother passed a couple of months ago and left this one owner, garage parked ls430. My wife and her sister are the only two heirs. They agreed to sell it for $10k. I thought that will be a great deal for someone. Why not me?! Gave her sister $5k.

 

Very sorry for your and your wife's loss of her grandmother. Hopefully the car may remind you of many fond memories of her.

 

 

After nearly 10 years of searching for a PERFECT Flint Mica/ Black CL that I would have paid anything for, this fell into my lap. If I said no, I would be a fool.

Needless to say, I guess my patience has paid off. I scored two insane deals on two LS's in one year.

 

Excellent finds! Any pics? Also, I am assuming the 2007 is an LS460?

This response is several years after initial post but want opinions on best site to sell LS 430. I purchased my 2001 LS 430 a year ago from a dealership for $9,100 +TTL. Car had 57,765 miles and was a Carfax 1 owner in pristine condition will all service records even though car had low mileage! A year later I have 59,085 miles which is why I am looking to sell since I don’t drive it much! I have 2 other cars (Infinit Q50 and RX 350) that I drive more often. Any advice and/or suggestions regarding selling this vehicle??

 

After a required number of posts one may advertise on Marketplace https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mar...-sale-307.html
Craigslist, Facebook, ebay, and automobile listing sites may work. Some here recommend bringatrailer for exceptional condition low mileage examples. If you attempt to sell it on this forum (which some may infer from your post, you may be) other than in marketplace your posts may be removed....

 

I’m definitely not trying to sell on this forum and not 100% sure I’m interested in selling period. I was just seeking advice on whether I should sale and if so what is the best site to sell on. Thanks for the information you shared!!

 

bringatrailer would probably get you the most money. Other option would be carsandbids.

 

Thanks for the information 100 cars!!
