Default How much do LS430's go for?

I'm going to be purchasing one soon and want to get an idea of some good prices. I was offered $47500 for a base model from a local dealer. How much did you pay for one? Please include options and state purchased in when responding. Thanks!

Wow!? JM Lexus happens to be my local Lexus Dealer! I live 10 minutes from them. I go to them to do all my service, etc... You know they have all these things on their walls saying how they are the #1 Lexus Dealer in the U.S. and have won all these awards and I always assumed that it was all just BS that every Lexus Dealership puts up on their walls but I guess it's all true. Thanks for the info Will. BTW your right they are very good.

Hell all

I also only live less than 10 min from JM. They do all the service on my RX300. I have not taken the LS there yet and realy dont plan on it untill I do the breakes.

They do great work but holy smokes there expensive. The good thing every time I go there I feel like royalty. They really take good care of you. Also I love getting a brand new Lexus as a loaner for the time of my service.

Both times when I bought me Lexus's I tried to buy from them especially sence they are so close but their prices are rediculas. I would say at least $6k over market value on everything used.

By the way ZED $47 is a Phenominal Price if the car has less then 20k miles on it. I've done my resrech in dreaming and anything less than $49 is a deal. Once they go over 23k miles you can get another $500 per 1,000 miles withen reason.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Your absolutely right about JM's prices Jerry, and apparently they don't have a problem selling their cars at that price level around here...

I forgot to mention this is on a new car... not used. I guess that's a good price then.

The review was in Canada, hence the prices are in Canadian dollars (exchange rate is Can$1.42 to 1$ US)
