Default 06 ls430

Looking to replace my 131K 07 ES 350 with a low mileage 06 LS430. Found a black/black 06.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

could you provide more details on the 06 you found? it really depends on what you're looking for in a car.

black/black is a rare combo and one of the most desired
06 is the last year for LS430
low mileage is hard to find
More details are needed to provide additional feedback but make a quick decision either way
what trim/options?
condition?
maintenance history?

if its a one owner lexus usually they get all the servicing done at lexus. they paid 75k for the car and can afford the dealer maintenance. that is a car that would age graciously. i say go for it but always get your mechanic to do an inspection. 50 bucks can save u thousands in problems

Low mile 06? If everything is good and proven to be good, I'd scoop it up if I were you.

It has 42K miles most services done at dealer. I had the local lexus service dept. look it up. It has the CL package with DLCC and power trunk closer. Condition is very nice it is kept at an inside climate controlled storage dealer.

My ratio is about the same as I use the highway quite bit to get around town and travel through the county.

Black on Black low mileage one owner custom luxury? Better grab it while you can because that's a hard to find very desirable ls430.

You're right. Asking $23, 978. Is willing to knock several hundred off.
