...tried to calculate out the new price in Norway at 10. January 2008 ...that's the day my car was sold new ( in Switzerland though) ....I had a a few data on prices in Norway at that day...the car has package 1 and 2...... and everything else ...here it comes first in NOK:

My bad..The sunroof was a part of the Wellness/Ambience, so I have deleted that cost and recalculated the price:

2008 LS600hL 1.612.800
Ambience 229.700 (most extras)
Wellness 169.800 (the rear seats)
PSC incl.ACC 88.100
1G0 paint 15.000


At a total of NOK 2.115400

Then I have calculated out the exchange rate at that day to
US $'s : 395.660,71
It's so nice to be a car owner :-)

In Norway, Lexus sold in 2008 total : 114 Lexus RX, 11 LS600h ( I know of only 3 hL's) and 6 GS 450h

Today I could get 2 and a bit 2015 Tesla Model S P85D for that price here....not that I would :-)

Example of 2015 car price here: 2015 Mustang GT Conv. NOK 1.305.900 = US$ 149.240,60

Mind You...I bought it in January 2012 with 30k miles on it ...and as a used import car.. and with a good deduction on the import taxes it was not that bad :-)

We Norwegians can't complain much on prices here though they are even higher in Denmark:
2013 LS600hL (prices from 22. March 2013)
All options: Danish Kroner 2.895.931
Metallic paint: 25.753
Total : 2.921.684

and calculated on that day to US$:
$ 424.300,86
