Welcome to the site and enjoy your new LS430 Ultra Lux. Other than the options listed are you going to add anything else? First thing I did was add a rear spoiler and it really makes a difference in appearance. It also give you a handy place to lift up the trunk

They also sell them for less on Ebay from time to time.

THANKS FOR INFO ON THE SPOILER. HAVEN'T MADE UP MY MIND ON ANY MODS YET. TRUTHFULLY I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR AN LS. HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH IN THE AFTER-MARKET ARENA. WILL KEEP LOOKING AND HOPE I GET MORE LEADS SUCH AS YOURS. THANKS AGIN VN.

Hi!

The invoice price on the ultra lux is $60,000, give or take a few hundred dollars. Then factor in the 2% factory holback your dealer gets after they successfully sell the car to you. That adds up to around $1300.

So....your dealer is paying $58700 and you are paying $68,000. Almost a $10,000 profit to the dealer. NOT a good deal.

I am here in New Mexico and I just leased a new LS430 and was able to cut a deal that saved me over $5000.

My advice is to go to carsdirect.com, invoicedealers.com, and intellichoice.com and pull up prices for your zip code. Then, take these prices into the dealer and make sure they know that you've done your homework. If the dealer wont work with you, your best choice is to buy from another state and have the car shipped in for an extra $1000.

Just paid $52995 for my 03 LS430. Base car with sunroof, climate control seats, chrome wheels and gold package. The southern California dealers had the lowest pricing (like 500 over invoice) and probably another $750-800 for shipping. My local dealer finally ponied up and did the deal.
