Default Bought a 2004 LS

Just finalized a 2004 LS430 with 60k on it for about $21.5 k. Modern luxury package. Black/Black.
Didn't get a chance to driver it yet. Dealer claims its a one owner with no accidents.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing how much you paid and the mileage-- I'm looking for an 04-05 LS430 as well, so it's nice to have a reference number.

Default cancelled the deal

I ran the carfax the car has a minor accident and has 103k instead of 60k. Dealer states that it was an honest mistake, the person writing the ad made the mistake and he didn't know the actual milage and he might be right.

Please think about the car carefully before you buy it. If the seller doesnt know the miles and history of the car, dont trust anything he/they say. Be careful,us fellow club lexus members must look out for each other! ll the best on finding the right car.

Thanks.
I already cancelled the deal. I am glad that I didn't drive 350 miles to find that out. I also contacted lexus for service information and was waiting for their response.

People do anything to make a buck and that dealer is the reason car salesman have bad reps. Not all car dealers and salesman/woman are bad but, people like the ones you dealt with are why i always think twice when doing car deals. Theres no way he(dealer) didnt know themiles and minor accident and other history of the car. Trust tht your patience and wisdmom to wait will pay of. A bad car is like having no car at all.
