Okay guys, I am getting a new 430 the price from my source is about 50.8k, Out the Door is about 55~56k. We are talking about a fully loaded, nav/ml, spoiler, 17'' wheels, with HID. is this a good deal?

Also here is what happening in the new 02 GS430. All things remain the same, it will INCLUDE every available options, which means every car will be with NAV. there is no wood trim difference, EVERY 430 is fully loaded. tha'ts it for the 02 models, for those just bought 01. don't worry ^^ . nothing changed yet!

 

I think the price is about right, I got my GS430 about 2 month ago at Cerrito Lexus, I paid $55500 out the door.
Fully loaded except wood/leather steering wheel.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention, we bought 3 GS430 all at once to get that deal. (I guess we pay a little bit too high)

 

hahaha no wonder, 55500 out the door is amazing, my friend got the same thing with out ML for 60k OTD.
well he lives in Bay area, where everything tends to be that way i guess. = P

Thanks for the info man, appreciate it 3 GS430. haha crazy man

 

GSINT/Wei,

which dealer gave you the quote?

take a look at your PM, you have better #s.

Aren't the 02 Lexus models supposed to have free maintenance for as long as you have the original factory warranty (4yrs/50k miles, i think?).

And I guess the 02 GS430 will be coming out in nov, only 5 months later, worth the wait for the free lexus maintenance? you decide !

Also, nothing changed from 98 to 99 when the GS4 was introduced, so I don't think anything should change from 01 to 02 either on the GS430.

 

Not sure for Lexus USA but for Lexus Canada on the '02 models we are getting free regular scheduled maintenance for 4 years or 80,000 kms.. My dealer told me this when I ordered my SC..

gwu128,

3 - GS430's sheesh did you guys win the lottery
If so wanna adopt me.. LOL

Must be a cool looking driveway with 3 Lexus's lined up!

 

my mistake, what I mean is my partner in the company decided to get GS430, so all three of us bought GS430 together. Looks very nice when we all drive our Lexus to work.

may be I can setup a new team too, we have total 5 Lexus GS including my friends. hehe!!

 

GWU128 just join our team, we have got our website setting up, and the stickers are already ready. = ) I am heading back to the bay for summer vacation, so let's cruize ! It'd be so much fun tho!

 

gwu128

when you say fully loaded out the door, does that include everything I see in your sig? like the L-tuned shock, spring, ecu..etc?

 

lex430,

I'm just talking about pure stock, those L-tuned and TRD are after mod.


gsintensive,

thanks for the offering, I'm just kidding, I'm too old to cruzing around. maybe I can hook you guys up with my bother in law, he is into car mod too, but the only thing is he does not own Lexus. I think you guys know him (Jimmy, the person who own BMW 540i Supercharged)

 

I got my GS430 bone stock for 50k out of door when it just came out. People were asking me if it was a new model, very cool.

 

RACINGARISTO, 50K OTD? that's an amazing price. Bone stock.... it's still such a good deal!! hm.. so nav/ml basically costs me around 5 k more? where you get that kinda deal?

yeah I know jimmy, i Drank with him last time in Dream Cafe in rowland.... We were with bunch of friends.... so he is like my friend's friend!.... still small world!
I went to his house to check out his rides, too. ^^

 

Wei:

What are you going to do with your GS3. You've got it going on with that car; bodykit, wheels, tints, chrome trim, badging, etc. Can some of that "stuff" transfer to the new ride? Or are you just going to start over.

 

I don't have NAV - but everything else including the 17" wheels, spoiler and wood steering wheel I paid $46250 without the tax. Most of you are quoting 50K out the door which means with tax. Maybe I didn't get a great price. The sticker on the car was 50,788.00 -

Am I that off?

P.S. Is the L-Tuned worth the money($950.00 shocks/springs) and does it drop it enough to look agressive?. The one thing I like about BMW is that they sit agressively and handle very well. Outside of that, I am not a great fan. My brother has owned everything under the sun and I drove his 2001 540I with 6-Speed. It was impressive, but I like my GS430 better.

Thanks,

Khanh
