Hi guys, I am about to purchase an 06 430 w a slightly higher mileage of 139,xxx for $15,500. Yes I think the price is a lil high but its a dealership and they've already discounted it. Anyhow, the car is a 1 owner vehicle and I wanted to know if anybody recognizes the car and/or knows the owner. Kind of a long shot but I figured the original owner may be/is a clublex member and I could speak with them about the car. I am a Lexus fanatic and have owned over 30 (yes thirty lol) gs400s but never a 430 or a 6th gen gs... I'm excited about "moving up" to a newer gen, are there any specific things. Should look out for w the 3rd gen?? Thanks, and "original owner" of this 3rd gen please chime in lol. Thanks

 

Another pic....

 

The car is originally from sc, and I'm guessing the owner lived in South Carolina too.......anyone know this car/previous owner????

 

Thats a lot of money, I would talk them down. It does look sharp

 

I tried talking them down but 14999 is their rock bottom/reduced price.... I guess it started at 16,999 and this is their final price. Anyone have any tactics I can use to get them down some more lol. Doesn't seem too bad considering it has the kit, exhaust, sound system, lowered etc and is only 1 owner

 

Even with the mileage, that would be a very good price out here in CA. Take it to a mechanic and have them do a full diagnostic on it. Verify all is good, and make the purchase. Then take it in for the major service, just to be sure you are starting out right.

 

Also appears to have Lexus PCS which is a very rare option. Does it have the APSSS which I think would be very cool to have.

 

So you think for 15k it's not that bad of a deal??

 

I just looked at what they are bringing at the auction, if the car doesn't have no problems, no issues I say go for it. Where in FL are you? If you are from Miami and this is a Miami dealer selling the car, then I say runnnn lmaoo.. Too many shiesty dealers down there

 

Lmao... Yes I know what u mean about dealers In Miami..... I'm even nervous buying from individuals/private party's when selling their cars lol. No offense to Miami folks, I've bought a couple nice ones and even sold a few of my cars to some nice Miami folks... Shout out to "clean sc" who bought one of my cars, but for the most part it's very nerve racking buying a car in Miami. I am located in the Tampa area, and the cara in South Carolina. I think I'm gonna go for it!!

 

Tell them 15k out the door. It's the end of the month, I know they got quotas to meet.

 

I did try... As I said they dropped price from 16,999. They are charging me a $599 dealer fee, and w taxes total comes to 16,500 out the door plus I still have to pay $475 for shipping.

 

$599 dealer fee?!?! Wow.....just wow.

 

It's tax season time, most of the dealers are making higher sales now. Best time to purchase is before thanksgiving. Right now you will pay 10-25% higher prices.


I'm in Tampa aswell

 

Back to the original topic;.. Does anyone know whose car this was?
