Question 04/05 LS430 price question

Hello everyone,
I am looking for an opinion and would like to ask some questions.
I am currently looking to buy 04/05 LS from a dealer as certified pre-owned in order to 3.99% financing .

I found 2004 LS w/navi Flint Mica outside, black inside with 59k miles and certified (Florida car (I am in NY), 2 owners) it has rock chip on the bumper and a bit on the hood, mirrors (highway car) the dealer is will to let it go for 28000 plus tax and willing to somehow fix/hide rock chips on the bumper. Do you think its good price for car like this?
They also have 2005 w/NAVI black on black with 38K miles, CPO, not so many rock chips for $34k, maybe $33K.

What do you guys think about those prices?
Thank you.

When I was doing my search, it seemed like 30k miles for $30k w/ nav was not difficult to come by. You'll over pay at a Lexus dealer imo.

Wow, I'm looking at 04-05 LS and I'd jump on that if I had a buyer for my IS...

sfuad - $30,500 for a CPO w/ navi seems unbelievably low...I can't find anything that comes within $4-5k of that....where did you buy?

For me, it was 36,000. I offered him 30k to which he flatly refused. However he called me back after two days and offered 34k. I told me that the offer of 30k is reasonable as ebay price is 28000 for a similar vehicle and I am adding 2K for being CPO which is quite reasonable. He later on offered 32K and then when he offered 31K that evening, I closed the deal at 30.5K.

Hello all. I'm totally a newbie to this forum. I found you guys by accident when looking for a question about my soon to be LS430. Now I'm thrilled to be a part of this family and look forward to learning a lot.

I chose this thread based on the topic. I just bought an 05 black/tan LS430. It has 34,700 miles. Has everything but the UL. I got it for $30,500 & I fly into Dallas tomorrow to pick it up. I'm thinking that's a decent deal (I hope it is). This will be my 3rd Lexus. My first was a red 92 ES300, and for the last 10 years I've driven a black 94 LS400 (now with 140,000 miles) which I love! I am selling it to a good friend who has been drooling over it for years.

There are great deals to be had. You just to have patience and time. I had been looking for months & was rejected on a few deals before I found this one. I hope I will love it as much as my 400.

I'll search around the forum before I post my original question about the navigation.

Thanks!
