What did you pay for your recent LS430 purchase?
#722
2003 LS 430 base model 72K
Black, original paint, no accidents, came with an oem cover, 2nd class hitch, guy towed his motorcycle trailer a little. Sister in law paid 10400; car is clean, mostly serviced at Lexus; was surprised to find the front shocks needed replacement and had already been replaced once by PO; doing the rears next; was on Offerup Miami

Nice job, @Esjay ! That is a really good price for today's market. Some will disagree, but for me interior is huge and hard to pursue repair on. I would rather buy a car, throw $1500 to a mechanic I trust than have a torn up or rubbed and thrashed seat, wheel, dash, etc. There are good interior people out there, but you'll never match OEM. Cursed be the clothing companies that continue to make pants and shorts with buttons and rivets exposed on the butt, perfect way to thrash any home or car leather.

Fair. 89k miles on timing belt (replaced August 2012). In the process of sorting out other issues
Partially complete records. Dealer service records from 2002-2006 in the owner's manual and additional records spanning 2012-2017 were sourced from a dealer. The most recent services could've been performed at a Toyota dealer. In the process of piecing this together

03’ base model mystic gold metallic. 92k miles. One owner bought new in 03’ and serviced at Lexus ever since. Has most of the small issues I’ve come across on this forum. (Drivers door lock, loose console lid, bubbles on dash, hood/ trunk struts, passenger mirror doesn’t auto fold) Needs some tlc but it’s cleaning up rather nice. Cut and buff paint looks good. Got it for $1200 when the lady passed away.

Prices these days can be from $2,000 for a rough 01-03 to $30,000+ for a pristine low mileage 05-06... No specific value for a very much desired Lexus. The price paid will most often reflect the condition of the car. You get what you pay for!

I hit a jackpot with this one, a rear gem for sure. I haven’t seen this color before. Absolutely in preteen condition, original owner, always garaged and almost always with a cover. All the maintenance was done at a Lexus dealer including oil changes. I know a sales rep at that dealer where it was purchased and serviced, I was able to get a copy of the build sheet. Also spoke with a service advisor, (he himself said he would buy this car just looking at the service history) so I bought it sight unseen. Everything is up to date including timing belt and diff fluid at 95K. Flew down to bring her home. Waiting game really paid off. I was utterly surprised when I saw it in person for the first time how well the owner kept this 430! This LS is for my Dad, I am absolutely certain he will love this LS more than his 2010 ES.
Spec: 2006, CL selection, Briarwood Peral with ECRU, 18” wheels, smart key, and interior pkg with comfort leather trim.
