2006 CL 18 SPORT BLUE PEARL 54K miles LIKE NEW $19750

Upon all my research here, thank you very much! I was able to make what I feel was a great deal and could not be happier. Lucky for me the dealer sold it as a MODERN LUXURY, but it was a CUSTOM LUXURY WITH PCS AND POLISHED SPORT PACKAGE 18", WITH CREME INTERIOR.
Thanks again for all the great helpful info. Will have to do some searching, but cannot get the iphone 5s connects as a phone but will lose connection when I try to transfer phonebook.

Congrats on a great purchase! Amazing how many non-Lexus dealers misidentify the LS option packages.

Your iPhone 5s will connect via Bluetooth, however you will not be able to transfer your contacts from that phone. I used an old Motorola Razor phone to transfer contacts to my '06.

You got a terrific deal! The CL seems to be a fairly small proportion of LS430s in addition to being possibly the most sought-after by knowledgeable buyers.
Lexus dealers, non-Lexus dealers, owners, etc. - it is almost rare to find an LS430 for sale with an accurate description. I frequently see the word "Premium" used, and it looks like the seller is not aware of the Premium Package because most are at least Modern Luxury. If it will help anyone, there is a document with pictures attached to post #84 in the thread "•How to tell if LS430 is equipped with Ultra Luxury Package?"
Scan the FAQ thread to find it (and lots of other interesting stuff).
In case you don't have one, you can get a free owner's manual by registering on LexusUSA.com (I think that's the right URL). You can also get a one-line description of all services done at a Lexus dealer.

Congrats, need some pictures. I love the blue but for some reason it was not very popular so it is rare. My dream combo is blue/saddle but I think that was only available on special order. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone. Stopped at Lexus of Melbourne and talked with Nicole. She was great and very IT savy. She took me thru the place and gave me a Licence Frame so it looks like I bought it there And I can just drive up and get a car wash...free...Sweet She shared that starting in 09 but really 2012beforethe Iphone really connects well with Iphone. She is a Android Girl after a couple years with Iphone and glad to be able to connect again. I love Dark Blue and Black cars...now I have both. I seem to be missing the floor mats and the ar lot did not have them. What color are they suppose to be?? the inside is a dark brown and a almost white chocolate roof and carpet and bottom half. Is that Cashmere or Ivory or Ecru. Called Lexus, they did not know. Said I need to come up there (25 miles) and they would figure it out.
Still getting used to the milage. Came from a Sentra and a Prius. Seeing avg. 15.2 when used to 28-48 is going some getting used to. Works great for Real Estate and showing Property. Thanks Again.
