Dear fellow cl'ers

I Need your input, i located a clean pristine 1 owner Low miles 2006 33,000 miles ls430, it's a custom luxory pearl white with white leather,ls430 with 18 inch wheels for 18,000, he was originally asking 19.5 but i got him down to 18k as its the lowest he will take, no accidents, inspection from the dealer came out clean, should i proceed? Thanks in advance guys.

Yes - if you like it - that's a good price. Realize that you have a TB/WP due shortly for time's sake, not miles and that should factor in to negotiations.

sounds like a great deal for a close to new car as possible

If you like the color/car then go for it. TB/WP is due at 90K miles but since its a 2006, I would wait for a few years... Good luck, its a great car.

Buy it yesterday.

For 18k you can get close to a new car with a warrantee. E mail me if you don't buy iyt

Ha, Yes, because a Honda Civic has a much better ride than an ol' lexus

Better get that thing and put a ribbon on it, fast.

a 2006 33k mile cream-puff is a pretty rare car these days. You are definitely paying a premium for the low miles but if you are into the LS430 it's difficult to get a really good low mile car these days.

I picked my "cream puff" custom luxury with 62k on the clock, little less than a year ago for about the same price. If you like it, get it. The low miles is worth the couple thousand dollars.

Buy it, buy it now. That's a killer deal.

I think it is a great deal. Mine is a 06 with 18, nav...
it has 84k when i bought it a month ago, $18k

thanks all for your posotive feedback,im gonna pass, well the dealer that did the ppi overlooked a few things, one dealbreaker was that the smart key system was bad and the remote had to be inserted into the igniton to start, i hate fumbling for keys, areas of the car did not have original paint,curtain missing from one rear window, needs brake rotors,of course tb/wp. Also i noticed some some cheap no name tires on the car,and i would prefer 16 inch wheels for that cushion ride,18's were sensitive to the pavement yet they do compliment such a big luxury car.headilghts were hazy even after polished. seller mentioned the paint work due to various deep scratches.also pass side window would sometimes not go back up only after numerous attempts, someone apprently did purchase the car, i guess to each his own, thanks to all who posted or even had the time to read.

so the journey continues......

If I just read this without knowing the miles of the car, 33k would not be my guess lol.

Yep - miles sound bogus. Pretty easy to turn back miles on modern cars, usually but not always this can be detected via various car check sites and Lexus owner-site maint records.

Personally I reject any used car with fogged/UV burnt headlights as this generally indicates car was not garaged. Cars that have been garage kept age 5X slower than cars parked outside in the elements.
