Default WTB Ls430

I am looking for a ls430. Year does not matter to me. I do not want any dark exterior colors, mainly black. Hopefully mileage isnt over 150k. I live in louisiana and would not like to drive over 10 hours. My max I would be willing to pay is 13k. Pm and let me know what you have. Thank you

I found a clean 2004 LS430 ML for $15K but it had 115K miles on it so I'm looking for lower mileage ones. How's your hunt going?

Its actually going good. I was searching for ls430 and my dad bought the car I found for myself hahah. 04 ul 112k miles for 14k. Since he is my dad I just let him have it. My search still continues. You can get 04 with around 100k for 14, you just have to look and know how to haggle. I also found a 05 ml with 99k for 15k. But its not the color I want. I also found a 04 ml and sport suspension with 135k miles and 2 sets rims for 13.5k but I had a feeling something wasnt right. Good luck finding your car.

Those are great price points. Thanks buddy! My search continues. I'm hoping to nab a nice 2004 ML Under 100K in the $12K - $14K price range. We'll see how that goes...


'04 UL 112K $14K
'04 100K $14
'05 ML 99K $15K
'04 ML SPORT SUSPENSION 135K 2 SETS RIMS $13.5K

No problem. But in all honesty.. 14k is actually a very good price. I am in no rush to buy a car otherwise i probably wouldve bought the 05 as my second choice. But my dad had decided t buy the ul for himself or I woud have bought that one. I am just lucky and I guess can haggle pretty good. The original asking price of the 05 was 18.7 and the ul was 16.5. I only look at private owner cars as I believe they maintain the cars better and are upfront honest with you. Also, they are easier to haggle with If the price dips down into the 12 or 13k range it will either have higher mileage/ problems or maybe you are lucky and the seller is desperate to sell it.

Lol I am not trying to troll or play you. But, that was not me, that was Jameshuang if you scroll and look at the user who posted that, I know an 04 with less than 100k miles is def more than 14k. My original post says I would like anything with under 150k miles, which gives me some room to find one. Thank you though

MY search is over. My grandma's friend is getting too old (83) and can barely drive anymore. She offered me her 04 mercedes s500 for a steal price. I mean price I could not pass up even after factoring in maintenance per year! She is one owner and showed me sticker price of 93k. I actually like it more than the ls430 after driving it. Thanks everyone for the info I learned. I may still consider a gs for a vip project though. For now farewell
