Two owner, clean title, no accident, black/black 2001 UL Ls430, 129k miles. Timing belt and water pump done at 100k. Front bumper is a little rough with some scratches, otherwise in very good shape. Asking price is $4,500.
Price seems fair... what should be goal purchase price be?

It sounds like it is already priced right - consider a purchase price below asking to be a nice bonus.

Most LS430 are great cars. Regardless of the price you pay, just be realistic and prepared to spend $1500-2000 to sort things out. Good luck.

Okay, talked to seller today and air suspension was swapped out for standard coils and springs, I hope the ride is still close to oem. Will test drive it today. Everything else is still functioning as it should, no lights in dash. Will removal of air suspension throw any codes?

Car was in bad condition and drove bad as well. I didn't want to start a new thread, so asking the CL family again, found a UL '02, 170k, all service records (More then $15k in repairs with receipts, only at the dealership), one owner in mint condition, asking price $7800 private party. What is a reasonable price to purchase?

Picked up a "MINT" 02' LS430 UL, 170k on the clock. Original owner, all work only done at dealership, Over $15k in receipts over the last couple of years fixing numerous things, using only OEM parts. Absolutely EVERYTHING works as it should. As a bonus, the air suspension was swapped out properly for OEM springs and struts just last year. I think I paid a little over what it's worth, but the history was worth it for me: $7200.
