I am looking for a lexus LS460. Down is the list of what I want to have in it. I want also to get it as cheap as I can and want to export it. Can you help??
On lexus.com they say it costs 72.000. Can I get it cheaper. I just love that car and dream of it. If I can get it for 44.000 euro than I can get it.

[1] Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease.

[2] 18-in or 19-in tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 15,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Please see your Lexus dealer for details and other information relating to tire selection.

[3] Do not change the OEM wheel size (19-in for Touring Model, 18-in for all others). Using other than the OEM wheel size could cause damage to the vehicle. If you replace the wheels, be sure they are the same size as the original wheels.

[4] EPA-estimated ratings. Actual mileage will vary. For more information on MPG and EPA ratings please visit the FAQ page.

[5] The voice-activated HDD Navigation System is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest. XM® NavTraffic™ requires a monthly service fee and is designed to provide real-time traffic or alternative routes of travel. Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Road system changes may affect the accuracy of the information provided. Rely on your common sense to decide whether to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available in every city or roadway. Periodic Navigation updates available at an additional cost. Please see your Navigation System Owner's Manual for further details.

[6] The backup camera, available only with the Navigation System, does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.

[7] The Bluetooth® technology phones listed on lexus.com have been tested for compatibility with Lexus vehicles. Performance will vary based on phone software version, coverage and your wireless carrier. Phones are warranted by their manufacturer, not Lexus.

[8] Functioning XM® Satellite Radio requires a compatible receiver and monthly service fee. Please see your Lexus dealer for further details. Reception of the satellite signal may vary depending on location. All fees and programming subject to change. Subscriptions subject to the terms and conditions available at www.xmradio.com.

[10] The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system.

[11] All the airbag "AB" systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner's Manual for further information/warnings.

[12] Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) are electronic systems designed to help the driver maintain control under adverse conditions. They are not substitutes for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC and VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details.

[13] Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions.

[14] The Lexus Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Owner's Manual for details.

any reason why you are not getting it in europe?

JM lexus has a representative here, shannon, maybe you can talk to her about it and see what she can do. i am not sure about the export part

and for sure you can get it less than msrp

Nospinzone

In the right market you can definitely get a $72,000 list SWB for $65,000 (or 44,000 euros). However, what are the transportation costs back to Ireland?

RXSF

the black market? where can i find a deal like that!?

what's the invoice for 72k car? 63-64k? 65k might need some work, but i think 2-2.5k over invoice shouldn't be a problem.

B@tm@n

I am in Iceland!!!

Nospinzone

Iceland, Ireland, what's the difference!

Nospinzone

Come to Boston. Plenty of dealers and plenty of SWB's.

The sticker on my car was $73,322 and I paid $65,773. I'd bet you could get even a better deal now than I got back in March. And not black market, right from an authorized Lexus dealer.

I think we have had a few CL members on here import Lexus models to their country from the U.S.. I assume the prices for locally sold Lexus, via Lexus Iceland, are much higher... http://www.lexus.is/

Just an aside but I found out that the President of Iceland now drives an LS 600h http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/09...07-conference/
http://www.visir.is/article/20070707...148/-1/FRETTIR

Good luck with finding an LS 460 in the U.S. and getting it to your country, hopefully other owner-buyers here can suggest a good deal.

rajwany

62853 to be exact is the invoice. checked it at a lexus dealership yesterday.
the mgr told me selling the car at 3000 over and including the holdbacks, he would make approx 7000/ car. believe it or not, the company he says wants to make an average of 9000 per car.

the holdback on the ls460 is 4k? that sounds like a lot (when a 50k gs is only about 1k)

3k over invoice is a lot for that car, especially when there are surplus

B@tm@n

The praice from the dealer is insane here in Iceland and the LS 600 is also insane. My dad who is a BMW and porche who never wanted even to look at my IS250 now wants to buy and dreams of the LS460. But he is only able to buy it if we can get it for like 44000-45000 euros. Can you help me plz? We are talking about making a dream come true.

encore888

It sounds a bit challenging but let's see what we have here...

According to Nospinzone, who is from Massachussetts, USA (East Coast):
Priced paid: $65,000 ≈ €44,000

According to rajwany, from Texas:

Invoice = $62,853 ≈ €42,500

Calculate shipping costs as well...are you able to make a deal with a US dealership?
