Selling my LS430 Ultra
I have the 01 LS430 with the Ultra Luxury Package. Only approximately 83000 miles on it. I think beautiful shape. About the only thing wrong with it is the rear sub seems to be blown or need repair. I've seen this car for sale as high as $15,000.00. Wanted anyone's opinion on what they think a proper price for this car should be. I want to get a smaller SUV or a Lexus GS Hybrid. Everyone says I am crazy to get rid of this car. I really understand the argument. They say the same thing about my 1997 Lexus LX450 I am getting rid of.

$15,000 is a lot of money to ask for the car, regardless of the condition or the miles on it. But I hope you can get that from a buyer.
Selling prices depend very much on where you're selling a car and the availability of that type of vehicle. I live in Toronto and there's no way you'll get that kind of money herefor the car .... as you could buy a 2010 LS460 for less than that !

Thanks Stu, I am torn on the price as I was was just going to ask around ten. Just have seen a couple that high. Do you think the Ultra Luxury Package makes that big of a deal to people. It does have some pretty neat features. Car must have been made to be chauffeured or something. Anyways, Thanks.

Your Ultra Luxury package will be a plus for some but not for everyone. I bought the premium model because I didn't want navigation or air suspension.
The strongest thing about your car is the fact that it has less than 100,000 miles. Once a car hits a hundred thousand ..... it's hard to sell regardless of miles or condition.
Good luck with your sale.

I think car looks great. Elderly couple owned before me and I think Only had serviced by dealership where they bought it. I am two hours from the nearest dealership so if I want something done it is usually done locally. It has the almost white interior. Older couple even put down carpet on top of the original floormats. I don't think feet have ever touched the originals. I will try to post a picture.

I think $15k is a lot for a 2001. It might have lower mileage but it's still 18 years old and the pre face lift model. I like cargurus for approximate sales prices. You have to take that color into consideration as well which I think may limit the car to only some buyers. I personally like the color but it's a love it or hate it color.

Sharp car, jstout1! Pricing somewhat depends on just how quickly you want or need a sale. Also, being 2 hours from a Lexus store suggests that you are in a rural area and that might come into play on such a car.
If you are in no hurry and willing to advertise nationally, you could start a bit higher than $10,000. Otherwise, keep it under that figure.
Good luck!

It's mostly stock. I have added a couple of things. 3D printed cupholders in front and back. Pioneer radio system. Memphis speakers, Wet okole seat covers for the front. Tinting. Maybe a few other things. Runs great but yes it has 238,000 miles on it. I hear the same thing all the time as the LS430. "Don't sell it, you will be sorry". LOL
Sorry,, this is a reponse to being asked about my LX450.

I have the same stable, an ls430 and an 80 series...
And I concur with all the people telling you that you're crazy to sell either!
