Default Wanted: 2001 LS430 with High Miles

Searching for one of these for a while now. Looking for high mileage so the price can be relatively low.
I am willing to pay a finder's fee.
Thanks

Default how much?

Can you give me an amount your looking at, and the amount of miles your thinking about in case i come across something ill keep you in mind. The lowest i have seen used on a base model is 36 grand.GOOD LUCK. You might have to wait another year or 2 before they go down around the high $20,000 mark.

I'm hoping to find a 2001 LS430 with at least 90 or 100,000 miles (or more) so the price can be under $30,000.

Thumbs up o.k I see

yeah man i feel you on that. Waiting until you get to a car with about 90-100 thousand miles is smart. These lexus cars all models run for years. I suggest waiting till after 90,000 mile service is done when you buy though. It should be at least another year or two I think before any car has that much miles on it. Then you can get one at half the price a new one would cost. Smart as Ben Franklin.

Good choice on waiting it out.

I too am waiting a few more years (4 at the max) before I start looking at the 2001 LS430's. Surely by that time the price of a high mileage one should be around the mid 20's and probably dip into the low 20's.

Good luck finding your car.

Thanks for the link, too bad I noticed it when it was too late. Either way for a car with that many miles I expected (or hoped) for the price to be lower. I guess its got to be over that magic 100,000 miles for the price to collapse. I'll keep looking.
