Default Need help with LS430 pricing

Well after much thought on buying a new luxury sedan and driving the Benz CL600 I have to say that I am going LS430 all the way Silver with ultra Luxury package. I will be picking it up tomorrow and have not come to an agreement on price. The sticker on the car is $69,800. I have them down to $65k for the car...Does that seem like a fair price?? Need feedback ASAP...I must say nothing beats a Lexus in Quality and luxury...end of discussion!

That is a very good price. Is this an 03 or 04 model?

That is a very solid price. Here in Atlanta they can't keep the LS 430 on the lot. CUstomers are given minimal room to haggle. Especially since it's much cheaper than the competition. Over 2100 LS 430s were sold in January, a 40% jump I think from last January.

Your getting a great deal.

Default Purchase Price of 430

Write them a check NOW, before they change their minds. I paid $65 for my '03 without Ultra Luxery Package. Good luck and ENJOY!!!

Well it is final the car will be in my hand tomorrow ...Price was $65,595 with Ultra Luxury package and Autobahn Road protectant "need it around here"....Car is Silver with Black and Smoked Burlwood Trim "looks like a Red Mahogany"..

I have driven many many vehicles in my lifetime, just about everything and the New LS is in the top 3. Definately the most Luxurious car I have ever driven and the car is SOLID AS A ROCK. On the highway it is pure quiet and I mean SUPER quiet!! The Ultra Luxury package is the best treatment any passenger can get aside from the "Maybach"....Lexus definately went the extra distance with this car. The transmission also feels incredible silky smooth shifts. Well I will post pics in the next few days.

John, I'm really glad you decided to stay with Lexus man. IMO you made a wise monetary choice, obviously the extra speed of the CL600 is not proportionately worth the extra 60k that it costs over the LS. I always use Bill Gates in the example that he has a net worth that I cant even WRITE, yet he does not have 3 Bentleys with 20k Davins!!

My point, financially secure individuals did not get that way WASTING their money!!! LOL

Heres a little inspiration for ya!
