I've noticed that lexus of palm beach will put high mileage LS430's on the lot while other dealers would send them to auction. Interesting to see one with this many miles for sale though.

Maybe it includes a lifetime bumper to bumper warranty?

That's a stock photo in the listing. Wrong color. There's got to be more to the story...

other than the fact that it is a CL, there is nothing unusual or rare about this car, and thus nothing to warrant that kind of asking price. Even us guys that know ls430 reliability would think long and hard about buying a 240k mile car, would need to be down around $5k at best

I agree there's nothing special or rare with this car.

If anyone from Lexus of Palm Beach is reading this, please be advised, YOU'RE NUTS for asking almost $12k for that 2006 Custom Luxury with a quarter of a million miles on the odometer!!!

am quite curious to see what happens with this car. Usually dealers price logically, especially if its their own brand and they know the model and features of the car. But in this case i don't get it. Anybody who lives in the neighborhood.....wander in and have a chat with the salesman to see what they are thinking.

My next go 'round (I'd like to think in about 2 yrs but this is likely to be crazy talk, getting a 2nd LS430), I want to get a CL. I had wanted to avoid due to the soft close doors/actuators, but to h*** with it! I really want the laminated glass all around, and I'll take the headlamp washers for the extra switch that you get on the dash lol

Somewhere out there, there is an '06, that will end up with 60k 2 yrs. from now, CL, down south, never had an accident, 1 owner, with my name on it. And if you believe that, the Stanley Cup parade will be in my town too next year!

dealer isnt too far from me. I actually leased my RX from them that I have now. my experience/impression is that their used cars are that "value price" or upfront price that some dealers do so that there is little or no negotiation involved at all. So strange they priced this car that way.

Ridiculous price. Maybe they hope a possible buyer forgets his (or her) glasses and can't see the odometer.
